El tema Plymouth recientemente agregado no aparece durante el arranque

Estoy ejecutando Ubuntu 16.04 y cuando agrego y elijo otro tema de Plymouth que no sea el agregado por defecto, al reiniciar para probar lo veo durante el proceso de apagado, pero cuando reinicio, después de grub aparece una pantalla negra sin nada encendido hasta que llegue a la pantalla de inicio de sesión.

Instalarlo no es suficiente

Cada tema de Plymouth tiene una prioridad y, de forma predeterminada, se elige el de mayor prioridad como tema de arranque. Puede anularlo con este comando:

sudo update-alternatives -config default.plymouth

Que muestran algo como esto:

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-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth           100       auto mode
  1            /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo-scale-2.plymouth   99        manual mode
  2            /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth           100       manual mode

Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:

la opción seleccionada actualmente (y la predeterminada) en mi sistema es 0 (automático), puede ver eso con el carácter de asterisco (*).

También puede ver cuál es el tema seleccionado automáticamente.

Debería ver su tema en la lista, simplemente escriba el número en la columna Selección y presione Entrar.

Luego debe hacer que su cambio sea efectivo, para ello ejecute este comando:

sudo update-initramfs -u

Debería ver su nuevo tema al reiniciar.

Todo esto ya está documentado en esta pregunta.

Tuve el mismo problema (y muchos más) al hacer que el tema earth-sunrise de 2011 funcione bajo Ubuntu 16.04.

Cambiar los nombres de ruta del formato <16.04 a 16.04

El archivo /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouthtenía rutas antiguas de Ubuntu 14.04 y tuvo que cambiarse para reflejar Ubuntu 16.04.

Asegúrese de que el suyo contenga nombres de ruta como este:

[Plymouth Theme]
Name=Earth Sunrise
Description=This theme is a modification of Andre "Osku" Schmidt's Space sunrise plymouth theme
ModuleName=script

[script]
ImageDir=/usr/share/plymouth/themes/earth-sunrise
ScriptFile=/usr/share/plymouth/themes/earth-sunrise/earth-sunrise.script

Frame Buffer en initramfs-tools

Edite el archivo /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splashy agregue esta línea:

FRAMEBUFFER=y

Transición suave a GDM

Para habilitar la transición sin problemas, debe deshabilitar su unidad de administración de pantalla, por ejemplo

systemctl disable gdm.service

Habilite la unidad DM-plymouth respectiva (se proporcionan unidades GDM, LXDM, SLiM), p. Ej.

systemctl enable gdm-plymouth.service

Activar depuración

Edite el archivo /etc/default/gruby busque la línea LINUX_DEFAULT:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash vt.handoff=7 kaslr"

y cámbialo a esto:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="plymouth:debug splash vt.handoff=7 kaslr"

La nota plymouth:debuges lo importante. También splashsiempre se requiere invocar a Plymouth.

Después de reiniciar, mire el archivo /var/log/plymouth-debug.logy debería verse así:
