Troubleshooting

Plymouth Boot Delay

On fast NVMe systems, the boot animation may flash too quickly. Add a delay:

sudo systemctl edit plymouth-quit.service --drop-in=long_splash.conf

Add this content:

[Service]
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sleep 6

Adjust the 6 (seconds) to suit your hardware. Apply with:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Plymouth Multi-Monitor

If the animation doesn’t scale correctly across monitors, specify your primary display in GRUB:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Add to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT:

video=DP-1:1920x1080@60

Replace DP-1 with your monitor identifier (use xrandr to check). Then update GRUB:

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
