You can see which theme will be applied by below command

 ls -l /etc/alternatives/*.plymouth

What I suggest, first remove your custom theme and text theme which is default for minimal image.

sudo rm -r /etc/alternatives/<custome>.plymouth
sudo rm -f /etc/alternatives/text.plymouth

Apply other themes

sudo apt search plymouth

sudo apt -y install plymouth-theme-sabily plymouth-theme-hamara plymouth-theme-spinner plymouth-x11

I suggest you can apply below theme and edit in it as it gives you more functionality.
Animated plymouth theme

vicharak@vicharak:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth   
There are 5 choices for the alternative default.plymouth 
(providing /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth).
                                                                                                                                Selection                Path            Priority   Status

sudo update-initramfs -u  

sudo reboot

In order to apply your custom theme,

You may need to run one more command

update-alternatives --install  /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth  /usr/share/plymouth/themes/mytheme/mytheme.plymouth 100  

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth        

sudo update-initramfs -u  

sudo reboot

We are currently facing an issue with our webapp on the Vicharak boards:

  • The app works fine on other browsers, but on the boards, Chromium (v91.0.4472.164) does not render TailwindCSS styles correctly.
  • This is because the deployed webapp relies on modern CSS features (e.g., oklch(), container queries, etc.) that are not supported in Chromium 91.

To resolve this, we need to update Chromium on the boards to a more recent stable release (ideally v110+). Could you please help with updating it to the latest stable version supported for our architecture.

This update is critical for proper rendering of the UI. Please prioritize and let us know once it’s completed.

Okay, noted your issue, working on it.
