cat /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth
Post the result back.
BTW: I am currently setting up a VM with a fresh copy of Ubuntu 10.10 installed in it. I am going to try to recreate your current situation.
Kind regards

Hi
Well, I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 in a VM.
I then installed KDE
and had the KDE boot splash. In your posts you have said you wanted to keep KDE but just remove the KDE splash screen, so this is what i did.Code:sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
I uninstalled
plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo
plymouth-theme-kubuntu-text
using synaptic.
I then checked the ubuntu plymouth theme was still installed using synaptic.
plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo
plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text
It was. I then typed
and this was the response (as was expected)Code:sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
matthew@ubuntu:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
[sudo] password for matthew:
There is only one alternative in link group default.plymouth: /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth
Nothing to configure.
matthew@ubuntu:~$
I then typed...
It recreated initramfs and after a reboot i only had the Ubuntu Plymouth splash, but still had the ability to select Gnome or KDE from the log on screen.Code:sudo update-initramfs -u
Is this what you did?
Kind regards

Re: Cant get rid of kubuntu splash screen after kde desktop install.
Okay thats done it!
It was the plymouth-theme-kubuntu-text file that I needed to uninstall to recover the original splash screen.
Many thanks once again
