Have you considered purging plymouth manager from your system?
Maybe, it's that which is causing the problem.
BTW: Did you get any error messages at any step when you installed new themes, selected a theme and ran the update command? Did each step complete successfully?
What was the output from sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth ? Did you see your newly installed theme?
Also, open a terminal and type
Code:
ls -l /etc/alternatives/default*
Post back results here
Kind regards
Code:
joe@joe-ubuntu:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
[sudo] password for joe:
There are 4 choices for the alternative default.plymouth (providing /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth).
