startup/shutting down screen showing Xubuntu's bootsplash and not Ubuntu's

  • 772

I installed Xubuntu-desktop over Ubuntu 11.10 and now when I shutdown my system or start it up, I see Xubuntu's bootsplash screen. Is simply removing the plymouth theme for Xubuntu corrects the problem and brings back default Ubuntu's? I don't want to 'experiment' thereby breaking something during the process.

11.10

  1. Run the following commands

    # Select your desired plymouth theme
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth

# Rebuild / update your initramfs with the new theme
sudo update-initramfs -u

    If you prefer a graphical tool you can try plymouth manager, it is available via a ppa

    sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mefrio-g/plymouthmanager
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install plymouth-manager

    There are several themes available in the same ppa
