The plymouth splash screen stopped appearing when booting, but appears only at power off, that is, not at the beginning, but at the end. Tried upgrade-initramfs -u but to no avail. Is it a bug in SparkyLinux?

This is SparkyLinux 3.5 Xfce 64 bit.

Had you recently installed Nvidia by any chance? (Nvidia and Plymouth have always been an issue for me, and others.).

If not, disregard the below... ;)

If so this thread may be of help.

basically
Quote4) Modify grub to see the spash

gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Change:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

5) Update initramfs and grub

sudo update-initramfs -u && sudo update-grub

Thanks GeneC. The Plymouth screen corrected itself.

I use JWM and I don't have it. Even if I use LxDE I wouldn't install it. It seems with plymouth sometimes shutdown is delayed. I just like the no splash mode, I enjoy watching the kernel and boot text instead. Last time when I used LxDE I uninstalled it.

Edit /etc/default/grub (using gksu leafpad /etc/default/grub), and remove the "quiet splash" from the Linux command line.

After this run sudo update-grub2

Also from the GRUB menu, if you want to do this temporarily, you can hit E on a line to edit it, then Ctrl+X to boot the kernel line.

We are talking about XFCE, not JWM, and I like eye-candy, I am adding more eye-candy. JWM is so Win 3.1...

The problem solved by itself!
