# ASK: How can I properly configure my Plymouth Boot Screen?
- I have Debian Buster 10.4 **XFCE**.
- I set
quiet
and splash
boot parameters in my grub.
- sudo plymouth --show-splash
doesn't work.
- At shutdown, Plymouth just doesn't appear.
- At startup, Plymouth is shown as a strange colored screen that doesn't fit my screen resolution. That screen has three blocks of text (square symbols) blinking with the common loading pattern (**X**XX - X**X**X - XX**X** - **X**XX - etc)
- I did try to change the Plymouth Theme without success.
It is to note that I have the NVIDIA Proprietary Drivers installed on my system, but the official configuration of the Debian Wiki just shows the below way for the /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
