plymouth-theme-spinner doesn't show Acer logo on boot but an older version of regular Ubuntu boot screen

[Lyubomir]

I'm using Acer A515-51G. Installing plymouth-theme-spinner causes the regular Ubuntu boot screen to be replaced with one that is the same color, but the font looks older and smaller. On shutdown however i see the Acer logo and the spinning circle, but there is no little Ubuntu logo in the bottom below the spinner.

Thank you for your bug report. We need to improve the plymouth apport hook since it seems to no be including the journal log nor the video card informations by default.

From the report though the nvidia kernel driver is loaded, could you give details on your video configuration? As stated on the discourse topic the flickerfree boot only works on recent intel cards and nvidia isn't supported at the moment so it would be a known issue if you are using a nvidia card...

I have Intel UHD Graphics 620 and Nvidia GeForce MX 150. Nvidia is set to Nvidia On-Demand from the Nvidia PRIME profiles settings. If you mean journalctl i'm attaching it.

I forgot to mention that when booting there is shown the error of bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1846016 for iwlwifi. After the error text is shown on Purple background for about 3 seconds and then the purple background stays, but a blinking underline is shown in the top left corner of the screen. Only if after that i press Ctrl + Shift + F1 the GNOME login screen shows.

So the iwlwifi bug is a different bug and is fixed now.

However i have turned off my NVidia card and the issue with plymouth still stays. I purged and reinstalled the plymouth theme spinner theme, but issue still stays even with Intel turned on.
