AMD drivers, Plymouth splash

[expressotweaks]

LONG STORY AHEAD. Skip down for question.

Hello guys because my mom's laptop was on windows I decided to install Ubuntu 14.04 on it because she used Ubuntu on her desktop and simply loves it.

So I installed it all fine and dandy on here laptop with the AMD proprietary drivers working fine, but as mother you know they have to nitpick.

She couldn't help but to notice when booting up the laptop the Ubuntu logo wasn't shown all the way through like on her desktop and showed some ugly purple lines and command text which "embarrassed" her when booting in a public place.

QUESTION: Do you guys know how I can fix Plymouth to make it show the Ubuntu logo all the way through? Or atleast get rid of the command text (Which just says Trusty Tahar login)

LAPTOP SPECS
CPU: A4-3305M
GPU: 6480G

THANKS!

Problem:
Plymouth splash starts very late or not at all, with a black screen otherwise displaying until the log-in screen appears.

A solution was offered by Scott Remnant of Canonical:

Based on his method, I did the following, which does the same thing as his in an alternate way.

1) Create a text file named splash containing the line FRAMEBUFFER=y and copy it (with sudo) into
the folder /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/
2) Execute in the terminal: sudo update-initramfs -u
3) Reboot.

After this, the splash starts in 3 or 4 seconds.

This is less likely to help much if you have an NVidia driver.

Your results may vary.
