I'am running a 64 bit version of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a Sony Vaio with 8GB of ram & 500Gb HDD.
I had recently installed the Lubuntu and KDE desktop environments but was not very impressed with either of them so I removed them both and went back to choosing between Unity and Gnome.
However, when I boot my computer am getting the blue Lubuntu splash screen instead of the regular default 12.04 unity screen.
How can I get rid of this Lubuntu splash screen?
Best Answer
The boot splash screen is provided by the
plymouth
program, with the default theme set using the packaging system's alternatives system.There are two ways you can change back to the default splash screen:
Configure the alternatives:
Uninstall the theme packages from the other Ubuntu variants. Ones to look for based on what you've described include:
plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo
plymouth-theme-kubuntu-text
plymouth-theme-lubuntu-logo
plymouth-theme-lubuntu-text
When removing these, be careful to check whether removing the package will cause anything else you care about to be removed.
