关于Xubuntu 24.04恢复旧版Plymouth圆形加载主题及动画变化的技术问询

Hey there! You’re totally spot-on—Xubuntu 24.04 did change the Plymouth boot/shutdown animation. The clean, solid circular spinner from 23.10 was replaced with that wiggly, jelly-like version to align with the distro’s updated design direction. But if you prefer the classic round animation, switching back is straightforward:

• First, verify if the old theme is still installed (it’s usually included by default). Open a terminal and run:
  dpkg -l | grep plymouth-theme-xubuntu-logo
  If it shows up in the results, you’re ready to proceed. If not, install it with:
  sudo apt install plymouth-theme-xubuntu-logo
• Set the old theme as the default Plymouth theme using this command:
  sudo update-alternatives --set default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/xubuntu-logo/xubuntu-logo.plymouth
• Apply the change by updating the initramfs:
  sudo update-initramfs -u

After rebooting, you’ll see the familiar solid circular animation back during startup and shutdown. If you ever want to go back to the jelly-style one later, just repeat the update-alternatives command but point to /usr/share/plymouth/themes/xubuntu-jelly/xubuntu-jelly.plymouth instead.
