Plymouth Initial Boot Screen Issue

I have the regular Plymouth package (latest version) from AUR installed and configured on my laptop. I use LXDM and XFCE4. I have an integrated intel graphics card. I followed the official wiki's to setup everything properly.

Unfortunately i do not have the plymouth boot splash screen working. Yet when i shut down, i see the plymouth splash screen that i have set.

Will anyone be able to help me with this? If you need any more info, please let me know.

Regards,

Re: Plymouth Initial Boot Screen Issue

Did you rebuild dracut/initramfs using the -R option?

There doesn't appear to be a '-R' option in mkinitcpio. And dracut is a redhat thing, but available in AUR. So you may have to explain to someone using Arch how to utilize dracut and the -R option.

Well, for more effort of mine, i've been told they'd close my thread.
And you clearly didnt read the wiki as you said.

I'll assume you were directing that to GameOver69. I never claimed to have read the wiki.
