Comment 2 for bug 775392

You say that you get a screen that says 'Ubuntu' on it, but your bug report says that you have the Xubuntu plymouth theme configured. This appears to be a bug in the xubuntu plymouth theme; with the default Ubuntu theme, the fsck messages appear as expected.

The plymouth script plugin unfortunately requires code duplication between each theme. It looks like the xubuntu theme needs to be re-synced with the Ubuntu one.
