Hi all!

I was playing with plymouth themes on a c7 box. I found a page on redhat, in their rhel7 documentation that describes how to change to a different plymouth screen:

plymouth-set-default-theme --list to find out what themes are installed.

then I installed the remaining bunch the yum had available.

so then installing one by doing

plymouth-set-default-theme <theme name> dracut -f

as documented on the aforementioned page, followed by a reboot produces NO plymouth splash screen. not even if I revert to the system default theme (the "charge" theme).

Anybody know what I'm overlooking here?

thanks!

Do you have "rhgb quiet" on the kernel command line? If not, they can be added in /etc/default/grub.
