"Ubuntu Budgie" display on boot

[nlevais]

Hello,

Looking for an alternative to Windows 10, I really appreciate your work, and I'm currently experimenting with version 1.3.2 of your distribution.

However, I noticed something strange. I installed Nemo from the default package manager (Gnome), and since then, I've seen that the startup/shutdown screen displays the names and images "Ubuntu Budgie". The same thing happens when deploying an update during reboot.

So I went back to the package manager to uninstall Nemo, hoping that would fix the problem, but the problem persists.

Any idea what's going on?

[Anduin2017]

I suspect it might because nemo installed cinnamon-desktop-environment.

Mind if checking?

sudo apt list --installed | grep ubuntu-budgie

Thanks for the feedback.

Here's what it looks like :

According to AnduinOS/src/mods/19-plymouth-patch/install.sh

You can perform the following steps to restore it to its original state.

Howto

The mechanism of Debian Alternatives System is used here.

set /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth to link /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/spinner.plymouth

sudo update-alternatives --set default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/spinner.plymouth

set /usr/share/plymouth/themes/text.plymouth to link /usr/share/plymouth/themes/text/text.plymouth

sudo update-alternatives --set text.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/text/text.plymouth

Then run to update

sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

Finally, restart the machine and it will return to the original anduinos mode.

From this case, a brief introduction to Debian Alternatives System

man update-alternatives

config via interactive mode or via non-interactive mode

run to config default.plymouth via interactive mode

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth

show

There are 3 choices for the alternative default.plymouth (providing /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth).

  Selection    Path                                                                       Priority   Status

  3            /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-budgie-logo/ubuntu-budgie-logo.plymouth   150       manual mode

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

you can input 2 to select /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/spinner.plymouth

This action is like non-interactive mode

sudo update-alternatives --set default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/spinner.plymouth

check

run

file /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth

show

/usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth: symbolic link to /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth

run

file /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth

show

/etc/alternatives/default.plymouth: symbolic link to /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/spinner.plymouth

/usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth --> /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth --> /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/spinner.plymouth

[nlevais]

When I ran the first command line, I got an error. So, I ran sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth and replaced /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/spinner.plymouth with /usr/share/plymouth/themes/bgrt/bgrt.plymouth.

The same thing happened with the second command line; I had to replace it with /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-text/ubuntu-text.plymouth.

The rest worked without a hitch.

Regarding the absence of "spinner," could it be because you relied on the source code for the upcoming 1.4 release?

[samwhelp]

My environment is AnduinOS 1.3

And I installed a lot of Desktop Environment like xfce, mate, cinnamon, budgie ...

[samwhelp]

I modify the reply above, the link to 1.3

According to AnduinOS/src/mods/19-plymouth-patch/install.sh

[samwhelp]

I did some additional testing

/usr/share/plymouth/themes/bgrt/

run

ls -1 /usr/share/plymouth/themes/bgrt/

show

bgrt.plymouth

run

grep '^ImageDir=' /usr/share/plymouth/themes/bgrt/bgrt.plymouth

show

ImageDir=/usr/share/plymouth/themes//spinner

/usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/

run

grep '^ImageDir=' /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/spinner.plymouth

show

ImageDir=/usr/share/plymouth/themes//spinner

run

ls -1 /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/

Cool! Thank you @samwhelp !!!

[nlevais]

Great! That's what I'd already done. I can confirm that it was indeed the solution.

[macdaddyaz20]

This is interesting, I installed Nemo in a different method where it only installed just the file manager and nothing else. I used the command "sudo apt install cinnamon nemo" and I didn't end up with any of the issues he had.
