Plymouth recipe added, animation not coming up.

Question

Hello , 
 I added the Plymouth recipe to enable an animated splash screen during boot. The themes are correctly installed and visible in /usr/lib/plymouth/themes/ , but no animation appears during startup &mdash; only the login prompt is shown. After modifying the bootargs to include quiet splash plymouth.enable=1 , the default splash screen appears, but the animation is still missing. Could you please help me resolve this issue? 
 
 Thank you.

Hii Harsha , 
 I haven&rsquo;t tried this myself, but you could select your custom theme as the system default by running update-alternatives --config default.plymouth and choosing your theme from the list . After that, rebuild the initramfs so your theme is included early in the boot process with update-initramfs -u . Make sure you&rsquo;ve removed any nomodeset parameter from your kernel command line so Plymouth can use KMS or a framebuffer, and confirm your bootargs include quiet splash vt.handoff=7 so the kernel hands off the display to Plymouth smoothly. Finally, reboot and you should see your animated splash instead of the default screen.
