Quick-install guide for the other three users of this package. P;

Disregard the README upstream. At time of writing (2020-06), it can be simplied thusly:

  • Add plymouth-lite hook to mkinitcpio.conf
    sed 's/^HOOKS=(\([^\)]\+\))$/HOOKS=(\1 plymouth-lite)/' /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

  • Regen with newly added hook
    mkinitcpio -P

  • Add initramfs to config.txt
    echo initramfs initramfs-linux.img followkernel | tee -a /boot/config.txt

Reboot, you are done. Watch as your glorious splash screen appears, disappears in a flurry of text, and then proceed to the "Silent book" page on the wiki[1].

@buergi

Also I reverted the patch applied to plymouth-lite-start.service and added instead a "WantedBy=sysinit.target" to the "[Install]" section.

Did it help? I don't use this package by myself anymore, so I don't update it. Would you like to maintain it? Or at least send a patch/pull request?

Thanks faergeek for the package, works great, but I had some trouble as the splash image only stayed for a few seconds since getty cleared the screen. My first solution was https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/getty#Have_boot_messages_stay_on_tty1 but then I chose to just disable getty completely (sudo systemctl disable getty@tty1.service) Also I reverted the patch applied to plymouth-lite-start.service and added instead a "WantedBy=sysinit.target" to the "[Install]" section.
