Not understanding. At what point in the boot process should I be doing that
... as soon as you see the boot animation. When you see the grey
screen, use Alt+d on the keyboard to switch to the text output. There,
you will typically see text that describes why the boot process isn't
completing.
and why would I need to do that at all?
Because long ago the debugging text was deemed confusing, and a
graphical wallpaper was placed over it.
Seems like it's something wrong
with the Plymouth and plymouth-scirpt packages.
That's unlikely. Those packages are probably just hiding the actual
problem.
