Plymouth

[tdockery97]

I notice that the Debian repos have Plymouth. Has anyone tried it out to see if it works ok in LMDE?

The Linux Mint dev team may have tried it, I suppose.

yes it will work. but the linux mint plymouth theme isnt installable on lmde as of yet. dont know if clem is working on it still.

[tdockery97]

I went ahead and installed it, and it works. Right now it's just a progress bar across the bottom of the screen, but at least I don't have to watch all that text unless I want to.

[steveo314]

yes. and there are 5 or 6 other plymouth themes you could switch to if you so feel. Theres one you can actually put the Linux Mint Logo( the entire one at the top left of the forum page) on if you want.

I've also got Plymouth installed on Debian, and it works fine...just keep in mind that Plymouth in Debian and in Ubuntu are no different, in that if you don't have a KMS-enabled driver, you're going to have troubles. E.g. Plymouth works fine with nouveau, but looks ugly with nvidia.

Yeah, mine works great. I love that Solar theme. Much prettier than watching little dots.
