Yes, I'm getting that. But I don't think it is related to the "shim" problem. It's probably an issue with Plymouth. When this last happened, it was said to be a problem with the Intel graphics driver (I am using Intel graphics). And for me, it is intermittent -- I sometimes get the graphic plymouth screen and sometimes the text screen (with 3 green blobs).
