You mention the installation as described in the forum thread does not work - what's the error message you get?

Sorry

Code: Select all

[karen@localhost ~]$ su
Пароль:
[root@localhost karen]# cp -r Starry-Night-Plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/
[root@localhost karen]# Plymouth-set-default-theme -R Starry-Night-Plymouth
bash: Plymouth-set-default-theme: команда не найдена
[root@localhost karen]# plymouth-set-default-theme -R Starry-Night-Plymouth
/usr/share/plymouth/themes/Starry-Night-Plymouth/Starry-Night-Plymouth.plymouth does not exist
[root@localhost karen]#

That is because the theme author used a mixed-case folder name but for the description filename he used all lowercase and the -plymouth suffix is missing in the base filename: starry-night.plymouth
Maybe the following is sufficient, although I can't test currently, will check later:

Code: Select all

cp /usr/share/plymouth/themes/Starry-Night-Plymouth/starry-night.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/Starry-Night-Plymouth/Starry-Night-Plymouth.plymouth

Thank you! Understood! I had the theme file to edit and correct. Then rename the folder - voila!!!

How to install theme to plymouth in Mageia:
1. Download the theme that you like (in my case it Aurora-Penguinis-Plymouth.tar.gz). http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Aurora+Penguinis+Plymouth+Theme?content=174342
2. Unzip to /home/user (your user) archive with the theme - you will get the folder Aurora-Penguinis-Plymouth.
3. Go to this folder and look for a file called aurora-penguinis.plymouth (see how it's called?). Open this file via editor (in my case gedit) and we need to change the path to the theme and script on the need for Mageia 5:
ImageDir=/lib/plymouth/themes/aurora-penguinis
ScriptFile=/lib/plymouth/themes/aurora-penguinis/aurora-penguinis.script

ImageDir=/usr/share/plymouth/themes/aurora-penguinis
ScriptFile=/usr/share/plymouth/themes/aurora-penguinis/aurora-penguinis.script

Changed? Saved our file and move on.
4. Change the name of the folder with the theme to aurora-penguinis
5. Open the terminal and type the command:

Code: Select all

$ su
# cp -r aurora-penguinis /usr/share/plymouth/themes/
# plymouth-set-default-theme -R aurora-penguinis

Wait, if all is well, reboot.
Thank you all - all free!

FWIW, as this is the international forum, this is basically english-only. For the russian part, that may be better placed in the russian forum
