[Bug 788138] Re: group default.plymouth is broken

[Lucazade]

I pasted an english version of the error I got without noticing is a bit
different from mine in italian...


$ sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth

È presente una sola alternativa nel gruppo default.plymouth: /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth
Nulla da configurare.
update-alternatives: attenzione: viene forzata l'installazione dell'alternativa /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth poiché il gruppo default.plymouth è danneggiato.
update-alternatives: attenzione: /lib/plymouth/themes/default.grub non viene sostituito con un collegamento.

so, it is default.grub and not default.plymouth :)

$ ls -l /lib/plymouth/themes

hope now is more clear!
