As discussed on irc, the problem seemed to be that the plymouth-ready
event was not being emitted since udev was not tagging a graphics device
with PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY, so it looked like the problem was
udev/kernel related.

According to jibel, if he enters the grub boot menu lightdm will
reliably start suggesting that grub is possibly setting up the
framebuffer which for some reason is not happening normally.

Looking at the log in #22, we can also see that plymouth itself is
crashing (SEGV). This may also suggest a problem with the graphics
setup.

I've just tried utopic-desktop-amd64.iso (20140923) under kvm and do not
see the issue reported.
