Hi List, After quite some fruitless attempts at getting plymouth to work, I managed to get it running by installing the following packages:
desktop-base libplymouth4 plymouth plymouth-label It seems that in my previous attempts, at least one of the first two wasn't pulled in, and thus it wasn't working. A package named "desktop-base" isn't exactly where one would expect plymouth themes, anyway ... So, now I have it working, but it keeps displaying the "futureprototype" theme at startup. What I've tried, between the "lb config" and "lb build" steps, is to alter where etc/alternatives/desktop-theme points, by placing a symlink pointing at the "joy" theme instead there, and when that failed, I instead changed etc/plymouth/plymouth.conf to: [Daemon] Theme=joy However, neither attempt led me to a differently-themed bootsplash. So what's the proper way of switching to a different startup theme, preferably a custom-made one? Kind Regards, Stefan Baur
