Boot splash screen no longer being displayed

Ask Fedora
1

Hi,

After a recent update the boot screen / splash screen is no longer shown and has been replaced by the traditional text stuff (all the sub-systems being loaded).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

  • plymouth.use-simpledrm=0
  • plymouth.enable=1
  • rd.driver.pre=amdgpu

My entire command line is the following

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=“resume=UUID=9263553e-d882-4f57-8afb-d9a2762bcfd9 rhgb quiet plymouth.use-simpledrm=0 plymouth.enable=1 rd.driver.pre=amdgpu”

After that change I executed : rub2-mkconfig /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

That didn’t fix the issue.

Any suggestions?

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.
