Hi,
I have just configured Plymouth is install a graphical theme into the initrd. I specified that I wanted the 'Solar Flares' theme to be used, which correctly gets used at shutdown, but at start up the 'Solar Flares' theme is not used, instead the 'Hotdog' theme is used. Is this a bug in Plymouth or is this normal functionality?

Hi guys,
Thankyou for your responses, this is where I am confused about why it is not working correctly.

I issued the command plymouth-set-default-theme -l to get a list of all the themes that plymouth new about and how they were addressed. I then issued the command plymouth-set-default-theme -R solar which the plymouth man page says is necessary to rebuild the initrd for plymouth to actually work. As this was the first time I had attempted to use plymouth I rebooted to see if it had taken effect. When the shutdown screen displayed it displayed the plymouth solar theme (and has done so every shutdown since) but when selected the current kernel from the grub boot menu, it displayed the hotdog theme rather than the solar theme. What I don't understand is if the initrd hadn't been rebuilt as the man page said it would with the command used how are the plymouth themes even being used at all, and, why is the boot not using the right theme when the shutdown is?

regards,
Steve
