Hello guys! I’ve recently been playing around with Manjaro style bootsplash themes and I was wondering how to get bootsplash themes working on endeavouros. With Manjaro, a bootsplash is placed at /usr/lib/firmware/bootsplash-themes/yourtheme and a initcpio hook is placed at /usr/lib/initcpio/install bootsplashes are compiled using the bootsplash-packer tool. You also must append a bootsplash.bootfile=/bootsplash-themes/yourtheme to the kernel commandline. I tried this with endeavour and it didn’t work. Any ideas on what I might be missing?
Is bootsplash still a thing? I thought it was dropped by Fedora in favour of Plymouth (again)?
I was under the impression that plymouth was outdated. I know Ubuntu still uses plymouth
Yup, I think it was, then it wasn’t.

So how difficult is plymouth to set up? Why did arch drop it from repositories? Do you expect them to pick it back up?
I haven’t looked at it for a while, but it’s in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Plymouth
(unlike “bootsplash” )
Bootsplash seems to be very manjaro specific. So I assume its included in their kernel patches. The funny thing is it’s not even enabled by default so maybe I should just use plymouth.

I believe arch kernel is also enabled bootdplash only the grub is another story. Manjaro runs currently same grub as fedora. Grub-quiet that makes different also further how it translate etc i dont know but with grub quiet they can load te system own bootscreen in boot but for animation idk…
As far as I know, arch has enabled a persistent vendor logo.
Not te sam3? Neeeedz different grub as manjaro use also different grub
If you look at a Manjaro kernel PKGBUILD, there are about 13 bootsplash patches. So, you might also need some patches and perhaps some .config settings for a custom kernel. FWIW, the patches seem to be from the Arch maintainers, though how pure they are is a good question.
Those are probably what I’m missing… I think I’ll check out Plymouth as you can actually preview themes BEFORE you reboot!
plythmouth had to update for each systemd version and tested , in some case we have errors from systemd with plymouth
Depene how quick your pc with booting, vender logo is for m3 enough. Hardly see it lol
You mean: N3333dz diff3r3nt grub as manjaro use also diff3r3nt grub?
