I just did a fresh install of Mate 22.04. I want to completely remove all splash screens for both startup and logout+shutdown.
There are plenty of questions and posts that describe how to do this for startup (e.g. 1), but none seemed to stop the splash screens on shutdown (for me at least). How do I do this? Thanks in advance!
Edit 2:
Perhaps others can corroborate: are the steps described here supposed to remove the shutdown splash as well as the startup splash? For some reason it did not remove the shutdown splash for me, but perhaps I did something wrong?
Edit 1:
I tried removing plymouth per these instructions. It did remove the splash screens, but the system now no longer automatically logs in. I can log in at the text terminal, but startx doesn't work anymore. Help!
- The error with
startxis vaguely similar to this question, which has no answer. - These steps to repair Xorg didn't work.
What has worked is sudo apt-get install --reinstall lightdm; This also pulled down the plymouth package(s) I'd remove per that other links suggestion.
I do not know why, but at this point I have no splash screens on startup or shutdown, so I'm happy. I do_not recommend this chaotic approach to anyone else, so perhaps I'll await more official answers.
