ZorinOS Splash Animation missing


Every time I booting, it showing text, not ZorinOS Bootup Animation. I just installed so how I "reinstall" ZorinOS Bootup Animation?

Post the results of:
sudo apt list --installed | grep plymouth

Also check /etc/default/grub to ensure there's no "noplymouth" entry.

I don't have Plymouth boot screen enabled... I uninstalled it. I still have the boot logger portion of it installed, just not the boot screen portion of it. I don't even need to put "noplymouth" in the /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line. The HP boot graphic comes up for a few seconds (that's from the UEFI, no way to turn that off), then I get the text, which is what I want.

This is what I got

You don't have plymouth-theme-zorin installed?

If not, sudo apt install plymouth-theme-zorin.

Once you've got it working, if you want some nifty backgrounds, do:
sudo apt search plymouth

That didn't work

Did you check /etc/default/grub to ensure there's no "noplymouth" entry?

Nope. Nothing there

Huh, well I'm stumped here... obviously something went wrong with your install. Are you at a point where you can easily re-install?

If so, do a full disk check before you install.

I still have installation USB, but I can reinstall. If I do that, I need to reinstall all of my works

That's why I always recommend that people save their personal files on external drives formatted with NTFS, not in the directories provided by the OS... first, if your OS crashes, you'll have a chore retrieving your personal files, and second if there's some emergency where you need to bug out, you can just grab that external drive and go. The files will be accessible on any computer (Windows, MacOS or Linux) you plug that drive into.

I am not talking about files, but configuration. I've managed to run Overwatch 2 in Linux, fully configurate GRUB, settings and other things.

Ah, I see. What I do is record every step I take in setting up the computer to my liking... I'm working on a script that'll do all of the steps in one go. I'm about half-way done with the script (I've got the uninstallation and installation of stuff and some configuration stuff done, but I'm stuck on how to create files and populate them with the custom code I run, such as remapping the hard drive LED to an LED on the keyboard).

try pressing f1 or an arrow key upon boot

That's a good idea... also Esc... might be that you've got a stuck key that's removing the Plymouth boot graphic.

Try this:

sudo apt install --reinstall plymouth

[Source: boot - How to get a new default.plymouth in Ubuntu 20.04? - Ask Ubuntu]

You may then need to install the Zorin plymouth theme using Synaptic Package Manager

sudo apt install synaptic
