Ubuntu loading screen

I recently decided to try out Kubuntu, so I did the apt-get install kubuntu-desktop. I decided to just stick with Ubuntu, but after doing the remove the loading screen at start up is still Kubuntu, yet when I shut down it shows Ubuntu. How do I change it back to Ubuntu? It's not a big deal but it just sort of annoys me every time I boot up.

I haven't really tried anything more than reinstalling and uninstalling kubuntu-desktop thinking maybe it missed something. I don't know what else to try because I don't really know what I am doing and I don't want to screw up the system. Thanks y'all.

IBM ThinkPad A21P running Ubuntu 6.10

 

Try typing this into a terminal:

sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so

You should now be able to choose the ubuntu usplash.

 

here's what I get:

quade235@quade235-laptop:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so

There is only 1 program which provides usplash-artwork.so
(/usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-ubuntu.so). Nothing to configure.

 

hmmm....try this line and then reboot to see if it did anything:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r`

That command is supposed to reload your usplash image. That's all I can think of, since the previous suggestion seemed to indicate you only had one image to choose from

Also in synaptic make sure you have the package "kubuntu-artwork-usplash" uninstalled.

 

Here's what I get:

quade235@quade235-laptop:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-'uname -r'
Package `linux-image-uname' is not installed and no info is available.
Package `-r' is not installed and no info is available.
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: linux-image-uname -r is not installed

and kubuntu-artwork-usplash is uninstalled in synaptic

 

Did you copy and paste my command, or try to type it out yourself? If you typed it out, try doing the copy and paste, because there's some tricky characters in the command (like the two backwards apostrophe's). To me it looks like maybe you used two regular apostrophe's instead.

 

Your suppose to get something like this:

 

Yeah, I didn't use the backwards apostrophes Thank you very much!
