plymouth does not show splash screen for shutdown and reboot

I have installed plymouth and gdm-plymouth to show splash screen
and I can see splash screen when boot-up
but no splash screen for shutdown and reboot.

I have checked every service.wants seems to have right plymouth link

» ll /usr/lib/systemd/system/halt.target.wants
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Jul 26 23:06 plymouth-halt.service -> ../plymouth-halt.service

» ll /usr/lib/systemd/system/reboot.target.wants
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Jul 26 23:06 plymouth-reboot.service -> ../plymouth-reboot.service

# I have linked plymouth-poweroff.service by myself to try to make it works
# but no luck
» ll /usr/lib/systemd/system/shutdown.target.wants
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 Jul  4 03:21 mkinitcpio-generate-shutdown-ramfs.service -> ../mkinitcpio-generate-shutdown-ramfs.service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Jul 29 00:23 plymouth-poweroff.service -> ../plymouth-poweroff.service

How can I make splash screen for shutdown and reboot work ?

Re: plymouth does not show splash screen for shutdown and reboot

This may not be of much help, but it might point you in the right direction.

I installed plymouth recently and on shutdown, I usually also don't get a splash screen. However, occasionally it will flash for a fraction of a second before disappearing. I assume, it's because my machine shuts down so fast there's no time for a splash screen to even load Maybe it's the same with yours?
