Re: So I have Plymouth running, but how do I change the startup theme?

[Narcis Garcia <debianlists@actiu.net>]

With plymouth and plymouth-themes packages installed on a non-Live
system, I use this program to manage splash theme:

# Get current:
/usr/sbin/plymouth-set-default-theme

# List available:
/usr/sbin/plymouth-set-default-theme --list

# Select another one:
/usr/sbin/plymouth-set-default-theme $AnotherTheme
