Update- This is how I fixed mine... Adapt to your own system. # look at the old directory ls -ltrd /lib/plymouth/themes #look at the newer plymouth directory to compare ls -ltrd /usr/share/plymouth/themes if differerent, mobe the old to the newer... sudo mv /lib/plymouth/themes /usr/share/plymouth/themes sudo gedit /usr/share/plymouth/ubuntu-sunrise/ubuntu-sunrise.plymouth
