Bug Description
After upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04 the system doesn't show neither a splash screen nor a login screen when booting the 3.8.x kernel but the drum beat login sound is audible.
Only if the upgraded system was booted with the previous kernel 3.5.x, the boot splash and login was visible and working.
I've read that some other people who have also an Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller, are suffering the same problem.
I suspect either plymouth to cause this problem, or the intel graphics driver in the 3.8.x kernel.
WORKAROUND: I've added these two options to /etc/default/grub :
GRUB_GFXMODE=
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD
After running the follow the system boots normally, but without the splash screen:
sudo update-grub

This is unlikely to be an issue with Plymouth, since you say tree login screen is not shown and that's not controlled by Plymouth. Can you please try booting with no custom GRUB_GFX* settings, and without the 'splash' option on the kernel command line? This will let us rule out a Plymouth problem.
