Comment # 6 on bug 947682 from Dr. Werner Fink

(In reply to Dominique Leuenberger from comment #5)

One major problem could be the patch stop-graphical.patch in the plymouth
package which let plymouth-quit.service as well as plymouth-quit-wait.service
conflict with the graphical.target.  This patch allows to see a smooth
transition from the framebuffer plymouth screen to the final X11 screen but it
seems to cause a lot of trouble.

Therefore I suggest to test out


    cd /usr/lib/systemd/system
    sed -ri '/^Conflicts=graphical.target/d' plymouth-quit.service
plymouth-quit-wait.service
    systemctl daemon-reload


after this might be the first console visible for a second or less but this
ensures that plymouth is gone if graphical.target is reached.
