Not seeing Plymouth graphical boot-up screen until end of boot process



After reverting back from BURG to GNU GRUB2, I noticed that the purple Plymouth loading screen wasn't appearing until the very end of the boot-up process, when it flashed up for about a second.



Before this, the purple screen loaded with the Ubuntu logo and the dots at the bottom changing colour one by one.
Now, after selecting Ubuntu on the GRUB2 menu, I see a black screen for a long time (probably while Ubuntu is booting in the background), and then the purple screen shows up for a second and the dots change colour all at once. Then, it takes me to the log-in screen.




This is really bugging me, and I'd be grateful if anyone could help.
Thanks!

After a tiresome internet-searching session, I finally managed to find my answer here: https://askubuntu.com/a/79959/289337
Thanks for the replies though. (By the way, JohnnyEnglish's method didn't work for me).
