Re-enable splash scrren

Issues & Assistance
1

Hey, I disabled the the CachyOS slash screen and boot animation a while back because I had problems with my dual display setup on boot (endless loading cycle on boot), and it was recommended to me as there was a bug in SDDM.

Now that I switched to plasma login I would love to have the splash screen and animations back, but I can’t figure out what I’m missing. I followed this guide to remove it: https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/tutorial-disable-or-remove-plymouth-boot-splash/10922

I tried to follow the steps in reverse but the it’s still disabled. I reinstalled these packages:

plymouth-kcm

cachyos-plymouth-theme

cachyos-plymouth-bootanimation

but not plymouth-git as it has a conflict with plymouth-24.004.60-14.1

I also checked mkinitcpio.conf and plymouth is there in HOOKS.

What do I miss here? Or is there a easy way to reset this to defaults?

Hello and welcome,

Did you also re-add splash to the boot options (and rebuild initram and/or apply bootloader changes, ex; sudo mkinitcpio -P && sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg)?

Thanks, I forgot to re-add splash to rEFInd (refind_linux.conf).

While I was able to re-enable the splash screen, the original problem persists. Most of the times I go into a endless circle animation with both screens active on boot. Had to disable the splash screen again. Hopefully this will be fixed with plasma-login at some point as we get active development on it. Still, thanks for the fast help.
