Ubuntu splash screen changed to edubuntu, why did it happen and how do I change it back?

  • 772

I recently noticed during a reboot of my machine that a splash page came up saying Edubuntu, which I understand is a particular flavour of Ubuntu. When I installed Ubuntu, it never used to say that, and it was not the version I installed. I installed 12.04 32 bit.

Can anyone explain how my operating system changed to change to Edubuntu? can this happen through some kind of system update?

edubuntu

  1. You installed edubuntu-desktop, which is a metapackage that installs the Edubuntu desktop and the packages it wants/need to work. This includes edubuntu-artwork, which installs plymouth-theme-edubuntu, the theme you see on boot.

    You can remove this with:

    sudo apt-get remove plymouth-theme-edubuntu

    Did you install edbuntu-desktop? Either way simply remove the plymouth-theme-edubuntu package: 

    sudo apt-get remove plymouth-theme-edubuntu

    and reboot.
