Bug Description
Text mode hits in for about a half a second every time one logs out or shuts down the computer. UPDATE: log out part fixed in lightdm in Ubuntu 13.04 ->, shut down problem still there.
The attached video "Text-mode in logout and shutdown.webm" is a combination of two clips showing this on one of my computers. This one has slightly more text output than my other machines, but on every machine it catches attention by being ugly and I'd guess "cryptic" or suspicious for ordinary people in the otherwise smooth experience starting from the bootup ubuntu logo.
Tested on up-to-date Ubuntu 12.04 on an Intel IGD graphics netbook, Intel Sandy Bridge laptop and Radeon HD 4670 (open drivers) desktop machine. The video is from the sandy bridge one.

A bot changed to intel driver, but that's at least not correct. Changing to plymouth, since I guess lightdm at least isn't running at the time of logging out or shutting down (it's then started if it was logout in question). Plymouth should have the splash screen available right away when shutting down, and possibly also for the split second before lightdm starts (a design detail). A console screen should never be shown.
