How to install Plymouth [SOLVED]

[luis.nando]

Hello community,


I managed to get my LMDE pretty ready for my production purposes, it is stable, functional and beautiful. The problem is I couldn`t find a way to make Plymouth work. I installed it using the repos, than i followed instructions to set the default theme. But nothing worked. Funny is that, some months ago I was using a Mint Debian 64bits using the Vincent tutorial on the community website and back then I managed to get plymouth working... But for this original installation of LMDE i couldn`t.

Some ideas?

Just to double check: you've already installed the "plymouth-themes-all" package, right?

Hello Vincent,

after I mintyfied my debian, following your tutorial. I decided to give a try on the normal release. I followed the same steps of your tutorial, but no success!!! Yeap, i've already installed the "plymouth-themes-all".

Code: Select all

cat /etc/default/grub

# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rootflags=commit=100"

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"

Should be something like this:

Code: Select all

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

Don't forget to run the following command afterwards:

Code: Select all

sudo update-grub

Still Nothing...

Well...I'm out of ideas at the moment. Strange...any LMDE users with Plymouth installed want to chime in?

[luis.nando]

After I reinstalled the package plymouth started working... thanks.

Even more strange...oh well, if it's working now, I guess everything's fine.
