Comment 4 Joachim Frieben 2020-08-10 11:28:23 UTC

The corresponding output for Red Hat Beta 8.2 where the graphical boot procedure works as expected reads:
$ plymouth-set-default-theme
charge
$ rpm -qa | grep plymouth

Comment 5 Joachim Frieben 2020-08-10 11:50:00 UTC

After running 'plymouth-set-default-theme charge --rebuild-initrd', the plymouth theme is set to "charge", and the graphical boot procedure works as expected.
