Hey everyone, today when I opened my pc I saw this on boot
/scripts/init-premount/plymouth: line 36: /usr/sbin/plumouthd: not found /scripts/init-premount/plymouth: line /usr/bin/plymouth: not found /dev/numeon1p5: clean, 1078151/30498816 files, 16025002/121964800 blocks /scripts/init-botton/plymouth: line 18: /usr/bin/plumouth: not found
It wasnt fatal, the boot logo apeared afterwards and It booted fine but I want to know if there is any way to scilence it or solve it somehow. Thanks
Maybe a Reinstall could help. Type the folowing:
sudo apt reinstall plymouth plymouth-theme-zorin-logo plymouth-theme-zorin-text
It didnt work also whenever i try to install anything, it always tries to update inframs and ends up with dpkg error

This is what I actually get during boot
Can someone help me?
Looks like something is broken. Try this:
sudo dpkg --configure initramfs-tools
dpkg: error processing package initramfs-tools (--configure):
package initramfs-tools is already installed and configured
Errors were encountered while processing:
initramfs-tools
and the problem is that this

happens every time i install something
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
Select Zorin Logo option by entering its number (1, 2, 3 or 4...)
Follow the prompts. When done, run:
sudo update-initramfs -u
Thats the point, I use a plymouth animation from gnome themes
The custom theme you are using may be broken. Please test the above to see if that resolves the issue. It it does, that confirms that the theme you got from Gnome Themes is not working correctly.
ok, i tried it again with the default plymouth logo but i still get
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.8.0-59-generic
E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth failed with return 1.
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-6.8.0-59-generic with 1.
What is your output for
update-alternatives --query default.plymouth
Notice this line has a typo (plumouthd, plumouth):
This is why I think the custom theme obtained from Gnome Themes site is the fault carrier.
From the Recovery Menu > Drop to root prompt, you can run
nano /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/plymouth
Look for further plumouth typos and correct them to plymouth
Once done, try running
update-initramfs -u -k all
It seems that now it doesnt show this error anymore on boot but i still cannot update initramfs
This is what I have tried and what I got
anglaro@hp-15s:~$ sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
[sudo] password for anglaro:

Plymouth Themes Initramfs
Plymouth themes can affect the initramfs, as themes need to be included in the initramfs for Plymouth to display during the boot process. To include a Plymouth theme in the initramfs, you need to regenerate the initramfs after setting the default theme. This can be done using commands like update-initramfs -u on Debian-based systems. Additionally, some themes, such as KDE Plasma's Breeze theme, require specific files to be included in the initramfs, which may need to be added manually.
To ensure that Plymouth themes work correctly, the proper GRUB video modules must also be loaded, and the resolution and splash option should be set in the /etc/default/grub file.
/usr/share/plymouth/themes and the initramfs must be regenerated to include the new theme.AI-generated answer. Please verify critical facts.
