Mageia forum

Hello everyone, I've been using Mageia so far without
problem but when updating the kernel Plymouth stopped working; I tried to place some of my kernels in /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ I even chose the default kernel but it doesn't work, only text, no animation. Can you help me?
I have used the following commands as root:
# plymouth-set-default-theme --list (to list the topics)
# plymouth-set-default-theme Mageia-Default --rebuild-initrd (to install the theme)
And this is the result of the terminal:

And what is the actual problem now, and what does "doesn't work" mean ? The output you posted looks normal, it regenerated the initrd of the currently running kernel just fine.

The problem is that at the restart, it does not take the chosen Plymouth but only shows the text of the processes that are developing, there is no animation of the selected Plymouth, only text, nothing graphic.

I've already found the cause for not running the Plymouth properly. When I install the grub of MX although I can enter Mageia, there is no animation, only text. How can I revert it?
NOTE: I place as RESOLVED because the problem was in the grub shared with MX, I reinstalled Mageia and solved.
