How to change plymouth theme? Solved.

[benbullard79]

Currently using (among others) Rosa Marathon 2012 EE x86_64.

I do some things with graphics from time to time so I need to change things to see what I've done. For some reason I can't change plymouth theme in Rosa operating systems. I can in Mandriva or Fedora. For instance say I want to use MIB-Ossigeno-Ultimate plymouth theme following instructions here:

When I reboot I still get POCA screen. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for reply. If you read what I posted in code that is exactly what I have been doing and it isn't working. I still get POCA light grey plymouth theme not MIB-Ossigeno-Ultimate-Plymouth. What I don't understand is why. This works in Mandriva but not in Rosa.

Later I will give an answer to the problem.

[benbullard79]

Looking forward to that.

[VictorR2007]

Looking forward to that.

I also could not do anything. Three hour spent.
Tried in another program plymouth-theme-switcher of ftp://ftp.mandrivauser.de/rpm/GPL/2010. ... 4/release/

[VictorR2007]

I renamed /usr/share/plymouth/themes/Mandriva-Rosa to old.Mandriva-Rosa
further
plymouth-set-default-theme MIB-Ossigeno-Ultimate-Plymouth
/usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-generate-initrd
/usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd
Then install a new kernel.
Everything was working.

Thanks. I did something similiar I moved Mandriva-Rosa elsewhere. Now I can change plymouth theme as I wish. :mrgreen: :!:
