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

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

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
