[Bug 2128178] [NEW] Plymouth theme is not showing "spinner" theme after installing Ubuntu 25.10

 

Public bug reported:

After installing Ubuntu 25.10, Plymouth does not display the "spinner"
theme as expected during boot. Instead, it falls back to the "text"
theme even though the "spinner" theme is installed and configured.
