Question

Hi guys, is anyone comfortable enough with plymouth? I never

had any problem with it, I use it on several laptops, raspberry pis and all. But I have that one specific computer (HP Prodesk 800 on Debian 12) where it doesn't want to show anything at boot, and it's driving me crazy. I checked, and the integrated graphic card (Intel HD 530 using i915 driver) does support early kms. I tried all that I could find on the internet:

- Check that splash (+ quiet) kernel parameter are passed
- Check that plymouth and the themes are actually in the initrd (they are)
- Enable plymouth debugging (plymouth.debug kernel parameter) and read the log: nothing suspicious
- Set Framebuffer=yes in initramfstools
- Set i915 modeset=1
- Set plymouth.use-simpledrm kernel parameter
- Tried with drivers from firmware-intel-graphics and firmware-linux-nonfree
- Set GRUB_GFXMODE to my screen resolution in grub config
- Out of despair, set video=... kernel parameter

And various combinations of all these. I am running out of idea now. Do you guys have a hint on what I should try next?

Yes, and journalctl -u plymouth-start.service show the usual stuff, like Starting plymouth-start.service - Show Plymouth Boot Screen... main.c:1866:check_verbosity: redirecting debug to /dev/tty1 ply-event-loop.c:765:ply_event_loop_stop_watching_fd: stopping watching fd 6

Desktop, with monitor?

Yes, a 1920x1080 touch screen. I am sure the problem doesnt come from the screen, because plymouth works on that screen with a raspberry pi

I can see earlier part of the log where it says theme not found. Can you try to create a VM and install your OS there (is it Fedora? ) and compare the log for theme error message and the theme directory location for existence of the file

Yes I was also wondering why it was looking for the theme in /run. But It'y likely not an error, this is the log of plymouth on another computer (where it works) and it has the same kind of messages. The only different between both is that the py where it works is on Debian testing with plymouth 24, whereas the one that doesn't work is on Debian stable with plymouth 22... Maybe I'll try to upgrade it.
