Try nosplash debug. If you want output from upstart too, add --verbose
Changing
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""in /etc/default/grub is correct, but you also need to run update-grub for it to take effect.
Hit Esc any time to see the text.
For permanent changes, uninstall all plymouth themes, including text ones, and in /etc/grub/default uncomment the line to enable console.
