How to install additional Plymouth themes on Maya?
I have one irritating problem with splash (or plymouth?) screen in Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon.
I tried to change black splash screen with this command from http://linuxmint.com/rel_maya.php :
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
But it doesn't change anything... I tried to change splash screen with Plymouth manager and I did change splash screen to Linux Mint splash screen with four dots (loading dots).
But I can't change it in anything else and I have about 60 splash screens but when I restart my machine nothing changes.
Please help!!!!

Re: How to install additional Plymouth themes on Maya?
Assuming you have copied the Plymouth theme files to a subdirectory in /lib/plymouth/themes, you need to add that theme as a alternative before you can use update-alternatives to switch to it.
Let's look shortly at the current output of "sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth":
From the "Path" column you can see "/lib/plymouth/themes" is where you need to put a subdirectory for your theme, "no-logo" in the first line. Then you need to find the .plymouth file in that subdirectory, "no-logo.plymouth" in the first line.
If you have copied your new theme to a new subdirectory under "/lib/plymouth/themes", then we can add the alternative. I don't have an extra Plymouth theme, but I see there are a few themes in that directory already. I'll use the subdirectory "mint-text" as an example, which has the "mint-text.plymouth" file. To add this as an alternative run the following command (it is one line):
To clarify:
That's the theory at least, let us know how it goes and if the themes work
Let's look shortly at the current output of "sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth":
Code: Select all
There are 2 choices for the alternative default.plymouth (providing /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0 /lib/plymouth/themes/no-logo/no-logo.plymouth 200 auto mode
1 /lib/plymouth/themes/mint-logo/mint-logo.plymouth 150 manual mode
2 /lib/plymouth/themes/no-logo/no-logo.plymouth 200 manual mode
Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:

I don't have an extra Plymouth theme, but I see there are a few themes in that directory already. I'll use the subdirectory "mint-text" as an example, which has the "mint-text.plymouth" file.

Code: Select all
sudo update-alternatives --install /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/mint-text/mint-text.plymouth 100
You replace the red part with the full path to the .plymouth file in your theme. You replace the blue part with the priority you want to give this alternative. I've set it safely low so that is isn't activated without you also running "sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth" to pick your theme. If you set the priority higher than any of the other themes (250 for example), it gets activated as part of the above command immediately.sudo update-alternatives --install /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/mint-text/mint-text.plymouth 100

Re: How to install additional Plymouth themes on Maya?
Thank you Vincent on fast response and your help!
...meantime i tried something little bit different...
I wrote following commands in terminal:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mefrio-g/plymouthmanager
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install plymouth-manager
Then, I installed all the Themes for Plymouth with this command:
sudo apt-get install plymouth-theme*
To change theme you need following command:
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
And now, enter theme number which you want to apply and press enter.
Than enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo update-initramfs -u (If this command shows error, Enter once again)
You need to enter: sudo update-initramfs -u every time after changing theme!!!! This was that piece of puzzle I didn't know...
But it's also interesting to know on which way we can change the priority of our themes - thanks once again Vincent!!

Re: How to install additional Plymouth themes on Maya?
You need to run the following command lines to fix the delayed loading of the splash:
sudo -s
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y >>/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
update-initramfs -u
andhey presto u get a fine splash!!
sudo -s
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y >>/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
update-initramfs -u
andhey presto u get a fine splash!!
Re: Plymouth themes: Fix, install, edit and create in LM13!!
1-To change the default splash screen:
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
sudo update-initramfs -u
2-To fix the delayed loading of the splash:
sudo -s
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y >>/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
update-initramfs -u
3-To edit existing themes: ( I'm going to edit a theme called plymouth-theme-LMDE which you can download from https://launchpad.net/~mefrio-g/+archiv ... hive-extra)
sudo gimp /lib/plymouth/themes/LMDE/background.png
you can copy,paste,replace and resize with gimp!
4- To install new themes manually:
First copy the downloaded theme to /lib/plymouth/themes/mytheme; Then execute (replace mytheme with the name of the theme you are installing):
sudo update-alternatives --install /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/mytheme/mytheme.plymouth 100
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
sudo update-initramfs -u
5- To create a very basic theme (wallpaper only) try the following:
1. sudo mkdir /lib/plymouth/themes/simple
2. Find a wallpaper you like and copy it to /lib/plymouth/themes/simple/wallpaper.png (must be a png!)
2. sudo gedit /lib/plymouth/themes/simple/simple.plymouth and paste the following:
[Plymouth Theme]
Name=Simple
Description=Wallpaper only
ModuleName=script
[script]
ImageDir=/lib/plymouth/themes/simple
ScriptFile=/lib/plymouth/themes/simple/simple.script
3. sudo gedit /lib/plymouth/themes/simple/simple.script and paste the following:
wallpaper_image = Image(“wallpaper.png”);
screen_width = Window.GetWidth();
screen_height = Window.GetHeight();
resized_wallpaper_image = wallpaper_image.Scale(screen_width,screen_height);
wallpaper_sprite = Sprite(resized_wallpaper_image);
wallpaper_sprite.SetZ(-100);
4. sudo update-alternatives --install /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/simple/simple.plymouth 100
5. sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth (select simple from the list)
6. sudo update-initramfs -u
Reboot and you should see a boot splash of the image you copied.

Awesome! Thanks for writing that up.
bootsplash LM13
Linux Mint 13 doesn't load plymouth themes on restart and shutdown but it does on startup!!can anyone help me fix this please??This is ugly!!!!! I assume it's a bug in mdm!!
Re: How to install additional Plymouth themes on Maya?
I have one new problem with plymouth themes... Every time I update my Mint 13 error appears after package installation...
Re: How to install additional Plymouth themes on Maya?
Four plymouth themes have broken packages:-
plymouth-theme-lmint
plymouth-theme-mib-oxygen
plymouth-theme-mib-ubuntu
plymouth-theme-spinfinity-ubuntu-women
you can remove the broken packages thus:-
sudo apt-get remove plymouth-theme-lmint plymouth-theme-mib-oxygen plymouth-theme-mib-ubuntu plymouth-theme-spinfinity-ubuntu-women
to remove packages that were automatically
installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that are no
more needed, run:
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
If you'd like to free up drive space, a useful and safe command is...
sudo apt-get clean
That removes the aptitude cache in /var/cache/apt/archives
Alternative: to delete unnecessary files to free valuable disk space, you can simply install Bleachbit and (as root) tick;
autoclean
autoremove
clean
then click on delete
Cake ain't it!!!

I get this:
Warning: No support for locale: en_US.utf8
Errors were encountered while processing:
plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
when trying to enter, for example, this command:
sudo apt-get remove plymouth-theme-lmint plymouth-theme-mib-oxygen plymouth-theme-mib-ubuntu plymouth-theme-spinfinity-ubuntu-women
I set Croatian keyboard as my default but that doesn't have any links with this problem, isn't it?

You could try regenerating your list of locales with
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
For me the result was:
Generating locales...

en_AU.UTF-8... done
en_BW.UTF-8... done
en_CA.UTF-8... done
en_DK.UTF-8... done

Then resetting your local locale with:
sudo update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8
i.e. use one of the Locale values in the output above
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Re: How to install additional Plymouth themes on Maya?
OK, this is what I did and result is perfect!
Thank you Brahim for help but there are few small things that I had to add...
It goes like this:
enter sudo su in terminal and then (I will write these in steps):
1.) sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
2.) sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
3.) sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
4.) sudo locale-gen --purge --no-archive
5.) sudo update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8
6.) sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
And that all folks!! )
But I have one BIG PROBLEM again!!!! Every time when I run update of my packages I get this error: error exit status 2 inside plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo...
How can I fix that???? I googled the net but I couldn't find good solution for that error... I tried with sudo apt-get --purge remove plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo - nothing changed
Then, I tried with this but I don't know how to continue: sudo dpkg --remove -force --force-remove-reinstreq plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo
Please help!!!! This is really big problem because I can't install any update.

Re: How to install additional Plymouth themes on Maya?
I gave up with this error exit status 2 problem - it was too complicated. New instalation of Mint 13 is set. It's not recommented to install all themes for plymouth with following command which I wrote before in a post: sudo apt-get install plymouth-theme*
But must say that there was again error message Warning: No support for locale: en_US.utf8 on clean Mint 13 install so I don't know if this is a bug that is included only in this release of Linux Mint or what, because there was no such problem in Linux Mint 10??!?
All in all, I fix that as I wrote in my post earlier - piece of cake!
