   This laptop boots with the spinfinity plymouth theme, and there's a white 
   progress indication bar at the bottom of the display, progressing from
   left 
   to right, during the boot.

   That other laptop, over there, also boots with the spinfinity plymouth 
   theme, but there is no progress bar. Spinfinity just spins on its own,
   and 
   that's the only thing that happens, until the desktop comes up.

   I compared the plymouth packages on the two laptops. The only difference
   is 
   that the first laptop has plymouth-theme-solar theme installed, in
   addition 
   to spinfinity; and all other plymouth packages are the same.

   I'll try installing the solar theme on the other laptop, but I can't see 
   that making a difference. The absence of the progress bar, on the 2nd 
   laptop, is a Scooby-Doo mystery to me.





So cat  /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf   (any differences on two laptops, this one and THAT one ;) )

Nope. They are identical:

# cat plymouthd.conf
# Administrator customizations go in this file
#[Daemon]
#Theme=fade-in
[Daemon]
Theme=spinfinity

It sounds like you're seeing the text mode fallback progress bar?

Like that, confirm?

Nope, that's the charge theme fallback.

Both of the laptops run the spinfinity theme. Both of them animate the infinity logo on a blue background, identically.

Except that this one also shows an all-white progressbar on the bottom, at the same time as the spinfinity one is being animated.

The charge text-mode fallback is a tri-color progressbar, rendered in text mode, one character cell at a time; the spinfinity one's an all-white progressbar, rendered pixel by pixel.
