 |
|
Hello,
I've a gentoo with systemd boot and plymouth.
When I ran the following script to test the plymouth's themes, all is fine.
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
chk_root() {
if [ ! $(id -u) -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Must be root"
exit
fi
}
chk_root
DURATION=$1
if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
DURATION=5
fi
plymouthd
plymouth --show-splash
for ((I=0; I<$DURATION; I++)); do
plymouth --update=test$I
sleep 1;
done
plymouth quit

I saw the correct image:

But A shutdown, the themes is correct:

I've test 3 differents themes and same behavior. Shutdown is correct, but at boot, same gray screen.
Do you have any idea ?
Thank you for your help |

I gave up plymouth more then 2 years ago. It just stopped working correctly. Something in the kernel changed somewhere around 5.17 I think. Some say it's a race condition, I don't know. Now I have deferred takeover and look at the EFI logo for a few seconds.
Best Regards,

It works on my laptop. I have amd vega 10 GPU. I use spinner theme.
I just followed the wiki. Plymouth should be compiled wit support for drm, gtk, pango, and udev. Then i set the theme from the command line. If you have AMD GPU, you can make the initramfs with either genkernel or dracut. I saw no difference in the splash behaviour between the two methods.
With nVidia GPU, I could not get plymouth to work with genkernel-built initramfs. However, it works with dracut built initramfs.
Overall, I would say plymouth works ok, not great. All the themes work. IMHO it works better with amd gpu. |
