Splash screen chnage after KDE installation

[nikhil14]

I installed Ubuntu 12.04.
I also installed KDE4.8.
I changed my display manger to kDM and afterwards I changed it back to lightDM (Ubuntu default).
Command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm

Now when I am booting the machine, it is still showing the splash screens of KDE, although afterwards it goes to Unity log-on screen as expected. Same thing happens at shut-down or log-off - it shows splash screens of KDE.

The boot screen has changed to that of Kubuntu's. To change back to that of Ubuntu's, type this command:

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
then choose the choice ubuntu.logo. For example, if the choice for ubuntu.logo is 0, then type 0 and Enter.

Thanks a ton for your quick reply!
I used the command:

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
After using the command I made the changes as suggested by you.
After the changes I can see the selection like this:

Selection Path Priority Status
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 /lib/plymouth/themes/kubuntu-logo/kubuntu-logo.plymouth 150 auto mode
1 /lib/plymouth/themes/kubuntu-logo/kubuntu-logo.plymouth 150 manual mode
* 2 /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth 100 manual mode

But, still same problem persists!!!
Thanks!

Forgot an extra command to apply your changes:

sudo update-initramfs -u
