cannot boot properly after removing splashy

[mic26]

Hi, i tried changing my splash screen following the guide in this link >> http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-easily-change-your-usplash-screen-in-ubuntu/ but now when i removed splashy i cannot boot properly to the log in window. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

[binbash]

I got same problem.install the splashy and then purge it instead of remove.sudo apt-get purge packagename.Then install usplash

[mic26]

i cannot install splashy again because when it fails to the command line screen i try to install splashy from there but it does not work. This is what i done

su root

dpkg -i /home/username/Desktop/splashy_0.3.13-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb

then i get this- dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system

any ideas??

Do this
sudo apt-get install splashy
then
sudo apt-get install libsplashy1

To install Usplash
You will need to remove Splashy first

sudo apt-get --purge remove splashy
then


sudo apt-get install usplash

If it doesn't work do search
apt-cache search usplash and install stuff it found, not all of it just the usplash, and the dev and themes
Look at the top of this reply I posted if you want to use Splashy

It seems that I have the same problem here after doing

sudo apt-get remove splashy splashy-themes

Somehow 'mount' shows me that my root-fs has been mounted as read-only (errors:remount-ro)

Anything that I could do here?

[rvjr]

Oh, and I always see a lot of messages still containing 'splashy'. It seems that the uninstall did not remove the modified scripts and all that stuff... Maybe that's why the root fs mount fails?

you forgot to
--purge when uninstalling it it :D
Well dunno what now :D
--purge it purges the configuration for splashy :D or any app
