This also fixes missing graphics when booting some ThinkPads.

Thanks Daniel, the corresponding upstream commit is https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/commit/75204a251 The description indeed matches what is described on this bug 'The amdgpu driver needs up to 5 seconds to initialize / boot some AMD GPUs, which makes our 5 second timeout much too close to the actual needed time, leading to systems where sometimes the boot is fine and the next boot we fallback to a text based splash because we won the race from the GPU probe code. This commit bumps the default DeviceTimeout to 8 seconds giving us a decent marging here without making it overly long.' -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838725 Title: Plymouth fails to display graphical splash screens on some machines, shows text mode dots animation instead.

I think plymouth is trying to load the png without it being mounted yet? If you look at the debug log and search for loading lock image you will see that there's an error on the first load but there's another one where it's successful. The first is when booting, the second is when I press esc, so maybe at boot, /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner was still not mounted but on pressing esc it can find it already.
