Bug Description

The Plymouth splash screen starts too late to cover the terminal text at logout and shutdown.

The bug is related to Lightdm, because Mdm do not have this issue or at least the issue is not as far out.

If you remove Lightdm from /etc/init/plymouth-stop.conf the logout and shutdown seems fine, but the plymouthd service will still be running at the system all the time. That is bad because plymouthd is very resource heavy.

This is quite an annoying bug. No way to adjust Plymouth so that it kicks in immediately? And it's unknown what is causing the delay? And would it be possible to just blank the screen before exec /bin/plymouth quit is being run?
