In Linux Mint the boot splash screen is completely black. According their website it is by design not a bug. If you want to change the splash screen you can select one by typing the following command and selecting mint-logo:
sudo update-alternatives –config default.plymouth

It should be a double dash.
” sudo update-alternatives –config default.plymouth “
