Can't change plymouth theme for login, works on logout

[chaosx9]

Well, basically, i've use the code

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth

to change the plymouth theme, but it only changes the theme for logout, not for startup.

Does anyone know what to do?

Try:

sudo update-initramfs -k all -u

I can confirm this works.

What was happening is that you are booting into 1-2 versions back from the most current kernel on your system, and when you update-initramfs -u, it only picks the highest kernel version.

Therefore only updating the splash for a kernel you aren't even booting into.
