Is there a way to get the old ubuntu boot screen in 23.04?

Oh man, you brought back memories. Memories of when Ubuntu was awesome.

Mor wiki.ubuntu.com/Plymouth

You could probably steal the entire Plymouth config from Ubuntu 18, may have to downgrade/install Plymouth in 23

Yeah I’ll probably download an old Ubuntu in a vm and steal the Plymouth theme

Wasn’t showing up in defaults.Plymouth so I renamed it to one of the themes I wasn’t using but now when I boot it turns off after a few seconds. Anyone know what this is?

Edit; this happens in the boot menu now too? What the hell

The joys of trying to get Ubuntu to do what you want 😅. Do you have logs from the boot in /var/log ? May be able to get it booted with the alternate grub options

I know this isn’t super helpful, but it’s a start ubuntu.com/core/docs/splash-screen

I don’t have an exact answer for you, as I don’t even know what distro your ‘old’ version was.

Linux is mostly open source, but people can’t help you as much with a ‘purple background and 4 dots’ description as they can with exactly what distro you were once running.
