Attempt to change bootsplash screen in Maui linux shows authentication error

[prince]

Update: Turns out to be an upstream bug. Reported it here with a proposed fix: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380113

As workaround for now just make solar known to update-alternatives by executing in a terminal

Code:

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/solar/solar.plymouth 100

After that the Boot Splash configuration should work setting solar.

Netrunner did not show this problem. So this must be specific to Maui.
