Plymouth ShowDelay does not work!

[dld_127]

Hello, all!
I use tty1 to autoly login and 'startx' to exec my software without a display manager.
First, I hope the plymouth can work as soon as possiable, I don't konw how to do?
Second, I hope the plymouth can display until the openbox show. I set the

Code: Select all

/etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf 

ShowDelay = 10, It doesn't work.
And after I set ShowDelay = 10, then use

Code: Select all

sudo update-initramfs -u 

， The plymouth theme doesn't show!
Please tell me how to do, THX

You should edit /etc/default/grub

Just remember that update-grub after editing, which is told also in the file.

Yes, I did that. I appended

Code: Select all

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

. The plymouth worked, but it doesn't last 10 seconds. There is a few seconds of black screen between plymouth and openbox.
Here is the log.

It seems ShowDelay is the wrong option to keep it visible. You need to edit (or create) plymouth-quit.service - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=285127
Also - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/plymou ... _animation . As mentioned in that wiki, the method is if you start plymouth with systemd.

It is often faster to find answers by searching than posting on a forum.

I did as ur advice,the plymouth shows 10 seconds, but the result isn't what I want. There is still a few seconds of black screen betweent plymouth and multi-user auto login.
The plymouth-wait.service is as follow:

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=Wait for plymouth last
Before=plymouth-quit.service
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sleep 10
[Install]
WantedBy=plymouth-start.service
