I am using Maui Linux 17.03. I am trying to change the plymouth boot splash screen to solar theme. I go to 'System Settings->Startup and shutdown->Boot Splash' and I select solar theme then apply. It asks for password. But when I hit ok after providing password it shows
I tried to change it by editing /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf file. But it doesn't change. Boot start up splash stays at default maui theme. However when I shut down I see solar splash screen.
Why am I getting the authentication error?
And since changing plymouthd.conf doesn't do anything where the OS pulling the information of which theme to use?
