Splash screen doesn't have Ubuntu logo

Writer Sophia Terry

Ubuntu is working perfectly, but the splash screen looks similar to this:

I'm using 19.10. But I was facing similar issue with 18.04 and 19.04.

Output of sudo update-alternatives --display default.plymouth:

 link best version is /usr/share/plymouth/themes/bgrt/bgrt.plymouth link currently points to /usr/share/plymouth/themes/bgrt/bgrt.plymouth link default.plymouth is /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth slave default.plymouth.grub is /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.grub
/usr/share/plymouth/themes/bgrt/bgrt.plymouth - priority 110
/usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/spinner.plymouth - priority 70
/usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth - priority 100 slave default.plymouth.grub: /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.grub

This looks like you need to use a framebuffer so that you have graphics when you boot up.

Run the following commands:

echo "FRAMEBUFFER=y" | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
sudo update-initramfs -u

That looks like a problem with plymouth. My suggestion:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall plymouth-themes

and then.

sudo update-initramfs -u

You can get a list of themes available via the repositories through Synaptic package manager or through the command line via aptitude:

$ aptitude search plymouth-theme
p lubuntu-plymouth-theme - plymouth theme for Lubuntu
p plymouth-theme-fade-in - graphical boot animation and logger - fade-in theme
p plymouth-theme-glow - graphical boot animation and logger - glow theme
i plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo - graphical boot animation and logger - kubuntu-logo theme
p plymouth-theme-sabily - plymouth theme for Sabily
p plymouth-theme-script - graphical boot animation and logger - script theme
p plymouth-theme-solar - graphical boot animation and logger - solar theme
p plymouth-theme-spinfinity - graphical boot animation and logger - spinfinity theme
p plymouth-theme-text - graphical boot animation and logger - text theme
c plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo - graphical boot animation and logger - ubuntu-logo theme
i plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text - graphical boot animation and logger - ubuntu-logo theme
p plymouth-theme-ubuntustudio - Ubuntu Studio Plymouth theme
p xubuntu-plymouth-theme - Plymouth theme for Xubuntu

You can then install the resulting packages via Synaptic or aptitude as normal:

In your case

$ sudo aptitude install plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo
