Ever since a kernel update and reinstalling the nvidia-346 package for the Nvidia proprietary drivers for my GPU, Plymouth has been reverting to using the text boot animation instead of the graphics one.

Log snippet using plymouth.debug=file:/var/log/plymouth-debug.log:

[ply-device-manager.c:303] create_seats_for_subsystem:found device /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fbcon
[ply-device-manager.c:334] create_seats_for_subsystem:it's not initialized
[ply-device-manager.c:713] create_seats_from_udev:Creating non-graphical seat, since there's no suitable graphics hardware

My problem is pretty much summed up here. I have manually added 70-uaccess.rules 71-seat.rules and 73-seat-late.rules but still have the same problem.

This has worked before while using the drivers straight off Nvidia, so it might be with package dependencies and scripts of the nvidia-346 package - who knows?

OK, so after a (long) time I figured out the issue:

In grub, changing the config to include GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep and GRUB_GFXMODE=1920X1080 seemed to solve my problem

I'm guessing here that GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep is what really makes a difference, as setting it to anything other than keep (e.g. a resolution like 1920x1080) would give me the fallback text boot screen.
