Package: plymouth
Version: 22.02.122-2
Debian stable and unstable were first installed to a VirtualBox using
VMSVGA (VMware) for virtual graphics. Then installed to two desktops on
the system hardware. One has an AMD Radeon 3000 on-board, the other has
an AMD Radeon HD 5450 on a PCI-E x16 video card.
The plymouth bootsplash would not and does not display with any of these
installations. The plymouth-set-default-theme command reports the
command update-initrams is not found. In the VirtualBox,
plymouth-set-default-theme wasn't found:
