Ubuntu 16 changes the location of plymouth themes from /lib/plymouth/themes to /usr/share/plymouth/themes and so all of the theme install scripts that assumed the previous layout now install to the wrong location.
Hope this time it work! here are the steps : apt-get install plymouth-themes ls -ltrd /lib/plymouth/themes ls -ltrd /usr/share/plymouth/themes move all themes directories to /usr/share/plymouth/themes: cd /lib/plymouth/themes Replace <theThemeDirectory> with the name of your theme directory: mv <theThemeDirectory> /usr/share/plymouth/themes within your themes directories ,there are always 2 files in it yourthemename-logo.script yourthemename.plymouth those files contain the old directory /lib/plymouth/ replace the path /lib/ with the new path /usr/share/ thats all . -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1525699 Title: Error message "/sbin/plymouthd: not found" is shown on booting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1525699/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
