Hi, I am trying to customize the soashscreen and I followed the instructions on the scribbles post, but I'm stuck at the first passage: locate /usr/share/plymouth...

Using Moode 7 on the console it says "no such file or directory"

Can someone help? thank you

So is the plymouth package installed on RaspiOS Lite (on which moOde is built)? Let's ask dpkg

Code:

pi@rpi3a:~ $ dpkg -l|grep -i plymouth
pi@rpi3a:~ $ 

So the answer is no.

Next step. Is the package available in the repos known to this installation? Let's ask apt-cache

Code:

pi@rpi3a:~ $ apt-cache show plymouth
Package: plymouth
Version: 0.9.4-1.1+rpt2
Architecture: armhf
...yada yada yada...

So, the answer is yes.

Next step. Install plymouth

Code:

pi@rpi3a:~ $ sudo apt-get -s install plymouth
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
 libplymouth4
Suggested packages:
 desktop-base plymouth-themes
The following NEW packages will be installed:
 libplymouth4 plymouth
0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 216 not upgraded.
Inst libplymouth4 (0.9.4-1.1+rpt2 Raspberry Pi Foundation:testing [armhf])
Inst plymouth (0.9.4-1.1+rpt2 Raspberry Pi Foundation:testing [armhf])
Conf libplymouth4 (0.9.4-1.1+rpt2 Raspberry Pi Foundation:testing [armhf])
Conf plymouth (0.9.4-1.1+rpt2 Raspberry Pi Foundation:testing [armhf])

Note that I only simulated the installation 'cuz i don't want it but the response shows the installation requires just two packages. Invoke this command without the -s option to actually install plymouth.

Final step. See if you can proceed with the rest of the recipe.

Regards,
Kent

Thanks Ken,
You're THE MAN! 
I didn't know there was a thing called plymouth. 
Just instelled and now it works perfectly!
I simply need to try different picture sizes since my display is 1024*600 and the images are too small or not shown (probably due to different sizes).

I will post the result when everything will be ok.

Thanks Again

Weird how fast people forget...

All this was nicely explained and tested by a guy "Georgets" almost 2 years ago. This mod has been on my moOde player ever since, and it still works.

I can not find this post? Anyone able to recover it, or the instructions?

Edit: never mind. It is indeed not that hard.
