How ubuntu studio's typical logo could be brought back?

Asked by Navin Talati

Sir,
Recently, while making some changes, the typical logo (symbol with revolving circle animation) of ubuntu studio disappeared which was appearing while booting and shutting down. Now instead only appears name “Ubuntu Studio” with animation of four dots changing into white and red colours below the name as it usually appears in “ubuntu”. My questions are:
(1). What could be the reason?
(2). How to bring it back ?
Please guide amd oblige.

The Ubuntu Studio metapackage has a postinst script to change Plymouth to its own boot splash.

To change it simply run:

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

Then reboot to test.

Sir,
While making some changes, I altered the Additional Drivers (through USC → Edit → Software Sources) from “Using X.Org X server – Nouveau …... “ to “Using NVIDIA binary Xorg driver …..”. This caused the matter under captioned question.
I was also getting warning while booting “...kvm disabled by BIOS...”
I reset the Additional Driver as it was; i.e. “Using X.Org X server – Nouveau …... “
and I could solve the problem. I am now getting the typical logo animation and also the warning disappeared.
Thus the issue is resolved.
Thanks.

Sir,
When I applied the command as suggested in #1, I got the following output. It asks me to opt. What should I opt for? What are the meaning of each?
The output is:
