I remember that some years ago, by running the same hardware which I'm using now, the Plymouth boot-splash was running flawlessly.
Yesterday I wanted to enable it again, but I noticed that it stopped working.
At boot I see just the textual boot-splash (Tumbleweed Logo).
Note: I'm using an Intel video card (i915 driver).
I've googled a bit and it seems that this is a diffused issue.
Any news about it? Try to find out which themes are available using:
sudo plymouth-set-default-theme --list
then use
sudo plymouth-set-default-theme --rebuild-initrd <your-theme-name>
to rebuild the initrd. After the next reboot you should see your chosen theme.
HTH, cheers.

Hi Manfred!
Thanks for the feedback!
I used tou use mkconfig to rebuilt my initrd: sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Doesn't it do the same?
No! sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg is absolutely the right command to build your initrd to include all modules you need for booting your system. Plymouth is just eye-care, if you want something different, you need to configure that appropriately. Either "sudo plymouth-set-default-theme --rebuild-initrd <your-theme-name>" will generate the new initrd, or you need to call "sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" another time. However, you need to select the theme you want Plymouth to use *before* that!
