Comment 6 for bug 696431

Disk check messages should be OK even if the greeter script isn't run at all, and they aren't animated in this version of the theme (and I think it will remain so forever for stability's sake).
Could you please post contents of /etc/init/plymouth-splash file in your system? It might help me handle upgraded systems properly. Also, there's a debug version of the script: http://db.tt/RJVefyJ It writes some debug info to /tmp/plymouth-greeter.log, if you could copy its contents to /bin/plymouth-greeter, reboot and post the /tmp/plymouth-greeter.log file, it would be great.
