So I "converted" Bionic Server UEFI to Mate Desktop UEFI.
One thing that bugs me though is that I cannot seem to enable plymouth.
this is what alternatives is set to:
There are 2 choices for the alternative default.plymouth (providing /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0 /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-mate-logo/ubuntu-mate-logo.plymouth 150 auto mode
1 /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-mate-logo/ubuntu-mate-logo-scale-2.plymouth 149 manual mode
2 /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-mate-logo/ubuntu-mate-logo.plymouth 150 manual mode
This is what /etc/default/grub is set to:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
GRUB_GFXMODE=2048x1080
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=keep
This file exists:
-rw-r--r-- /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-mate-logo/ubuntu-mate-logo.plymouth
Results:
Text output at boot.
/usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-mate-logo/ubuntu-mate-logo.plymouth
exist? Also check the permissions, I think it should be executable.
