After a recent update the boot screen / splash screen is no longer shown and has been replaced by the traditional text stuff (all the sub-systems being loaded).
After doing some research I tried to add the following to my grub command line
Been a while since I messed with plymouth but you shouldn’t need to go messing with grub unless something has gone catastrophically wrong. Should just be a matter of rebuilding the theme (if the package and theme is installed).
[brian@thinkpad ~]: sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -h
Plymouth theme chooser
usage: plymouth-set-default-theme { --list | --reset [ --rebuild-initrd ] | <theme-name> [ --rebuild-initrd ] | --rebuild-initrd | --help }
-h, --help Show this help message
-l, --list Show available themes
-r. --reset Reset to default theme
-R, --rebuild-initrd Rebuild initrd (necessary after changing theme)
<theme-name> Name of new theme to use (see --list for available themes)
[brian@thinkpad ~]: sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -l
bgrt
details
spinner
text
tribar
[brian@thinkpad ~]: sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -R spinner
[brian@thinkpad ~]:
spinner is the default theme Fedora uses for plymouth.
I hate to bring back this issue but it is back. I tried to run :
sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -R spinner but that didn’t work.
The only thing I did recently was remove rgbh quiet from grub then I thought perhaps that is the issue and I put that back on and executed “sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg”, rebooted and ran the plymouth command and nothing..
I don’t see the spinner anymore but all the things linux executes on boot and shutdown.
Also, the first line shown at boot is this :
“EFI stub: WARNING: Unable to unprotect memory range [48e706000, 48e7bb000]: 8000000000000009
Update : I fixed it.. Looks like I needed to rebuild initramfs, did it for all running command “sudo dracut --regenerate-all --force”
As for EFI stub: WARNING, I did some research, could be an issue with the BIOS.. I recently updated to a new BIOS and that could be the reason that is happening.
