Restoring the MM boot splash

[lavolp3]

@sdetweil Interesting, so it is currently only present on new installations. Updaters from earlier install don’t get this paticular upgrade.
I guess I really need to take some time to look into your script and use it for future updates.
Thanks for the explanations!

@lavolp3 correct. Only installed during initial install.

I didn’t create the installer script, only updated it and made it handle more environments.
Like the node/npm installs used to be one thing, they are separated now.
The old code installed node. And then failed cause npm wasn’t installed.

The pm2 install was hard coded to one is platform. I fixed that.

It only handled one screensaver config. I fixed that.

And added logging.

Then I made an upgrade script

The upgrade script does what you would do.
Download the code, npm install. And then npm install in all the active module folders where there is a package.json file

i had the same issue with a clean install of MM on raspian buster.
For manually setting the MM bootscreen this worked for me:

cd /usr/share/plymouth/themes/
sudo mkdir MagicMirror

sudo cp ~/MagicMirror/splashscreen/splash.png /usr/share/plymouth/themes/MagicMirror/splash.png
sudo cp ~/MagicMirror/splashscreen/MagicMirror.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/MagicMirror/MagicMirror.plymouth
sudo cp ~/MagicMirror/splashscreen/MagicMirror.script /usr/share/plymouth/themes/MagicMirror/MagicMirror.script

sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -R MagicMirror
