Upgrading from kernel 5.17.9 to 5.17.11 results in the bgrt theme to be replaced with a grey background and 3 dots. This is on a 6th gen Lenovo X1 Carbon with the F36 KDE. Any ideas why this is happening?
I’ve updated to 5.17.11 with the same issues.
Looking at plymouth logs I see:

Seems like it’s having issues loading the theme.
Installing xanmod 5.18.2 from this Copr seems to fix it. Installing 5.18.2 from the Kernel Vanilla Repositories doesn’t, but 5.19.0 works just fine. My guess is it’s an issue with how some newer Fedora kernels are being built.
I am facing the same issues recently. X1 Carbon 6th Gen with Fedora 36. It was happening on 5.17 and 5.18 too after today’s update.
Does anyone have any idea what’s going on?
