on ubuntu mate 18.04 neither of the above work,
the second install method is incomplete and it just diverts to the next alternate splash. the following works
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/starlabs-logo/starlabs-logo.plymouth 150 && sudo update-alternatives --set default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/starlabs-logo/starlabs-logo.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u && sudo cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.backup && sudo sed -i -e 's/GRUB_TIMEOUT=10/GRUB_TIMEOUT=2/g' /etc/default/grub && sudo sed -i -e 's/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="quiet splash"/g' /etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub
Hey ruby-terminator, You must have another plymouth theme install that uses a higher priority than 150. We'll do some testing and come up with a good solution for this.
Glad you like it :)
Edubutntu takes priority, and Breeze takes priority, but as you can see in my script I used 150 and It worked for me, the 150 priority wasnt the issue on Ubuntu Mate x64 18.04 server edition... for some reason your script failed me and I had to rework my own.
Just realised the "server edition" which explains the why. Your comment will be good here for the future, I don't want to add any generic instructions for editing grub config on a server - that's a dangerous game. Thank you :)
Plymouth is a bootsplash for Linux supporting animations using Direct Rendering Manager and KMS driver. It gets packed into the initrd. Besides eye-candy, Plymouth also handles user interaction during boot. Wikipedia
