How can I restore my boot screen in ubuntu 12.04?

Question

I installed Kubuntu on my Ubuntu 12.04 installation... big mistake!

It has now changed my boot screen (boot prior to lightdm login screen)

How can I restore this back to Ubuntu login?

Nvidia drivers!

Thanks

Found a solution here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1989879

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth

sudo update-initramfs -u

Had to restart a couple of times, but all reset.

You can do the same thing a little easier

sudo apt-get install --reinstall plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo

I did these changes and restarted my system (many times) but still the problem exists. I removed plymouth-theme-kubuntu-text and plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo packages as well. Now I am getting only purple screen (with no dots and no ubuntu image or text). I have ATI graphic card and using default graphic drivers. please help

Not sure if it worked bcz I have applied this fix as well echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
