Do We Have A Splash For Start Up?

I prefer to look at a static image rather than a wall of scrolling text so I'd quite like to be able to choose to have a splash screen at start up instead of what I currently have,

You can install and configure Plymouuth. It's a bit of a pain...

-edit- I just remembered, a forum member created a simple BL-flame theme for plymouth (7 years ago!)

Install it from the *all.deb package...

I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

I can't help but notice that my /etc/initramfs-tools/modules file appears to be empty.

Is there any way I can attach a copy?

^ That worked fine. I don't understand, though...

https://wiki.debian.org/plymouth#Troubleshooting

Did 'plymouth-set-default-theme -l', 'plymouth-set-default-theme -R [theme]' (as sudo) not work for you?

Oh, I have made plymouth themes for bunsen bark and sage. I should upload them. Been a bit distracted IRL and other stuff.

#!/bin/sh
echo '#include <stdio.h>\nvoid main() { printf("Hi, bunsenlabs\\n"); return; }' > bunsen.c
gcc bunsen.c -o bunsen
./bunsen
