Hi,
I have just configured Plymouth is install a graphical theme
into the initrd. I specified that I wanted the 'Solar Flares'
theme to be used, which correctly gets used at shutdown, but at
start up the 'Solar Flares' theme is not used, instead the
'Hotdog' theme is used. Is this a bug in Plymouth or is this
normal functionality?

Hi guys,
Thankyou for your responses, this is where I am confused about
why it is not working correctly.
I issued the command plymouth-set-default-theme -l to
get a list of all the themes that plymouth new about and how they
were addressed.
I then issued the command plymouth-set-default-theme -R
solar which the plymouth man page says is necessary to rebuild
the initrd for plymouth to actually work.
As this was the first time I had attempted to use plymouth I
rebooted to see if it had taken effect. When the shutdown screen
displayed it displayed the plymouth solar theme (and has done so
every shutdown since) but when selected the current kernel from
the grub boot menu, it displayed the hotdog theme rather than the
solar theme. What I don't understand is if the initrd hadn't been
rebuilt as the man page said it would with the command used how
are the plymouth themes even being used at all, and, why is the
boot not using the right theme when the shutdown is?
This issue has now resolved itself. It appears that plymouth did not
rebuild the initrd properly when the configuration commands were
issued. I did a system update Wednesday morning where a new kernel
was installed and as a result of the initrd being rebuilt for that
the correct plymouth theme is now being used at boot time. I'm now
debating whether it is worth doing a bug report given that when the
command sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -R solar was issued it
displayed a message that it was rebuilding the initrd.
Thanks everyone for your help.
regards,
Steve
