Plymouth Theme don't work during shutdown

Asked by Massimo

currently I use Ubuntu 18.04 on a dated, but valid Thinkpad X201.

From the WebSite:

https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1281879/

I decide to download this “Plymouth theme” and faithfully follow the instructions for its installation. Everything works properly, written, resolution etc… but when I log out of the system, either with "Turn Off" or "Restart" the exit screen of the chosen Plymouth-theme, does not appear. In the sense that if the active theme at that time includes a writing or an animation and I expect it to show up also during the shutdown of the OS.
When I logout I simply see a black screen and the system closes regularly.
I also specify that the theme in question provides an animation at boot time - which I see regularly - and a different one at logout.
Obviously I tried other themes and also the default theme (which I didn't delete) but this "small" malfunction remains.

Some idea ?

Below I write the output of some commands:

@ThinkPad:~$ lspci | grep -E 'VGA|Display|3D'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

@ThinkPad:~$ sudo lshw -c display | grep driver
configuration: driver=i915 latency=0

this is the file of my Grub:
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

# info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

What can I do to see the theme during shutdown?

Have you contacted the author of the theme?

I've seen the opposite way around with Nvidia drivers but you are using an Intel GPU.....

Yes, I contacted the author. I have not received a solution. For the drivers I have already seen ALL open source solutions to update. But I didn't have any changes.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Massimo for more information if necessary.
