How to change boot splash screen in 18.04
I have done this in the past in 16.04 and 17.10 but in 18.04 I can not get plymouth manager to work. Downloaded it from the software center but it doesn't work. Is there a guide available that will let me do it in terminal?

Doh! I didn’t realise you were talking about plymouth manager (rather than plymouth). I had trouble with it and found the command line much more reliable. See the answer below.

The same methods described here, do still work in 18.04.
NB: between 14.04 and 16.04 the location of Plymouth themes changed to /usr/share/plymouth/themes. If you have an old theme its .plymouth file might point to /lib/plymouth/themes/.
Installing a new theme
Easy if it's packaged - sudo apt install
Otherwise you need to copy its folder or extract its archive to /usr/share/plymouth/themes. Then you need to install it...
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/THEME/THEME.plymouth 100
...replacing THEME with the theme name.
Choosing the theme
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
sudo update-initramfs -u
Testing
You can also test Plymouth without rebooting...
sudo apt install plymouth-x11
sudo plymouthd ; sudo plymouth --show-splash ; for ((I=0; I<10; I++)); do sleep 1 ; sudo plymouth --update=test$I ; done ; sudo plymouth --quit

Thank you. I finally got it to go OK. Biggest problem seems to be that it was an old splash screen and I couldn't remember how I had made it work in 17.10. There must be an easy way to migrate or change them from the old /lib/plymouth/themes to the new path but I don't know what that is. Went through and edited every reference in every file and that worked but was time consuming.

Doh! I didn’t realise you were talking about plymouth manager (rather than plymouth). I had trouble with it and found the command line much more reliable. See the answer below.
