Comment 5 for bug 714492

For me on 13.04 an alternate workaround was to configure /etc/default/nodm to start on vt8, although this leaves plymouth active on vt7, whether or not the splash option is on the kernel command line.

The workaround to add "plymouth --wait --quit || true" to /etc/init.d/nodm worked fine for me.

Initially the symptoms matched #1070677, which somewhat confused my investigation.
