--- Comment #4 from Harald Sitter <sitter at kde.org> ---
Right, so, Luca just checked on suse and the theme renders fine with the x11
renderer and runs through its test sequence without theme related problems.
Meaning the theme itself is working.

This leaves us with a number of options on why it breaks:
- the distributions' dracut doesn't package all the assets of the theme into
the initrd (images, font files maybe)
- the script itself fails to parse when run from initrd, which would be super
weird considering it is parsing just fine when run through the x11 renderer (at
least on opensuse).

So. Y'all want to take this to your distributions for investigation.

Best thing would be to find out how to switch plymouth into debug mode for your
distribution (usually kernel cmdline plymouth:debug) and then have a look at
the logs for any obvious errors regarding the breeze theme. Additionally
manually unpacking the initrd and checking that the theme tree in the initrd is
the same as the tree on-disk would be useful there.

When in doubt about the parsing bit: install the plymouth x11 renderer and run
sudo test/plytest.sh in the breeze-plymouth source tree. This should run a
fairly comprehensive ability test from offline-updates over fsck to password
prompt. Most importantly it will touch most code paths to detect parsing
errors.

Closing this report as it's not a theme problem apparently.
