ASK: How can I properly configure my Plymouth Boot Screen?

  • I have Debian Buster 10.4 XFCE.
  • I set quiet and splash boot parameters in my grub.
  • sudo plymouth --show-splash doesn't work.
  • At shutdown, Plymouth just doesn't appear.
  • At startup, Plymouth is shown as a strange colored screen that doesn't fit my screen resolution. That screen has three blocks of text (square symbols) blinking with the common loading pattern (XXX - XXX - XXX - XXX - etc)
  • I did try to change the Plymouth Theme without success.

It is to note that I have the NVIDIA Proprietary Drivers installed on my system, but the official configuration of the Debian Wiki just shows the below way for the /etc/initramfs-tools/modules:

For Nouveau (nVidia)

nouveau modeset=1

  • I did set ´GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep´ and I can see the boot animation at startup now. At shutdown the screen blanks. – DATALOT May 16 '20 at 00:04
