Cant get rid of kubuntu splash screen after kde desktop install.

Asked by 1984dc

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello all.

I installed the kde desktop about 6 months ago and since then after choosing my boot option from grub i am stuck with the kubuntu splash screen instead of the ubuntu one.

does anyone know if there is a way i can go back to the good ol' ubuntu style splash screen (btw the splash screen manager does not seem to make any changes to my splash screen when i try to select another image for my splash screen, this has never worked not even before the installation of kde desktop).

many thanks in advance

Unfortunately "sudo apt-get --reinstall install plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo" didn't seem to have any effect. I will have to continue looking for a solution.

Many thanks

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth; sudo update-initramfs -u; sudo update-grub

Should do it, choose the boot image you want to use when asked.

sorry about the double posting there the computers at work are so slow that i pressed the add a comment button twice and now i can delete the thread.

I tried sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth and i got this message

  Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
  0 /lib/plymouth/themes/kubuntu-logo/kubuntu-logo.plymouth 150 auto mode
  1 /lib/plymouth/themes/glow/glow.plymouth 10 manual mode
  2 /lib/plymouth/themes/kubuntu-logo/kubuntu-logo.plymouth 150 manual mode
* 3 /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth 100 manual mode

Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:

I then selected 3 as it was the only option that was not kubuntu based i then sudo update-initramfs -u; & sudo update-grub rebooted only to find the kubuntu splash still remained.

I'm not sure if i'm doing this right if not then please let me know

Once again many thanks
