ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Also, the progress bar keeps running for a really long time. I ran systemsettings5 in terminal, but I think that there's no related message for this problem:

Whoops, I forgot to add the other steps ><

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to System Settings > Startup and shutdown > Boot Splash Screen
2. Select any theme
3. Apply it and reboot. Nothing will happen and the progress bar shows for a long time too, don't know if this is normal.

Thanks.
Comment 3 strangequark 2021-09-15 06:43:55 UTC
I've noticed something like this too - when I've applied any other boot splash theme that was there by default other than Breeze (except Details, that one just doesn't work at all for me (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442462) ), about half of them just don't work and just display the exact same boot splash as the default Breeze.

I completely lost the plymouth animation since at least two versions and couldn't manage to have it back no matter what (I reinstalled all the plymouth pakages, reinstalled the kernel, looked into the settings of both etc...). 

At first I thought it was my fault (I recently removed a bunch of old kernels manually) but after doing some research I realised that shouldn't break plymouth in any way, so this must be some kind of bug?
