How to disable Plymouth?

Question

How can I disabled plymouth?

Update: I did learn that I can sudo plymouth --quit and that will shutdown plymouth. I would like to know the recommended way to disable plymouth on boot.

Just disabling the splash screen isn't enough. As long as plymouth is running it will respond to the plymouth --ping that apachectl uses. — Jay _silly_evarlast_ Wren, Nov 15 '11 at 16:10

plymouth should be stopping on its own when the boot is finished.. on a GUI that is when kdm/xdm/gdm/lxdm start. On servers, that is when runlevel 2 is finished (ls /etc/rc2.d). If it is not stopped, this is likely a bug in the bootup, and should be reported with

apport-bug plymouth

The How can I disable the purple splash screen at boot? has been mentioned.

You could also edit the plymouth /1/ upstart /2/ config files and prevent the plymouth start-up. I think that the /etc/init/plymouth.conf will do the trick.
