Comment 4 for bug 1019579

I've got the same problem in Linux Mint: for less than three seconds (time between os selection in GRUB and login screen) my display powers off instead off showing the plymouth splash screen.
Weird though, since I got the splash screen the first couple of times I booted. I cannot recall, that I changed anything, that would effect plymouth. Although I'm just remembering that I had to reinstall GRUB2, because it had been installed in the Windows boot sector (I've got a dualboot system) instead of the MBR and Windows wouldn't boot anymore. But I couldn't say if that was the time when the splashscreen had gone...
