5

I'm a newbie and I've got this issue: My system has set up debian_5 theme but I want to get rid of it and restore the Ubuntu 11.10 default grub theme/splash/design (as you prefer) that is I think plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo. I installed/reinstalled it by Ubuntu Software Center, but it didn't anything.

[For your curiosity: The cause of that unwanted theme (debian 5) it's that I have tried lot of packages and now I can't restore the default grub design (that I liked so much!)]

You can change the installed plymouth themes by typing the following command on Terminal:

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth

You’re supposed to select your desired plymouth theme by typing its number and then press [Enter]. After choosing and activating your desired plymouth theme, you have to “save” the changes by typing the following command:
sudo update-initramfs -u

You can use Plymouth Manager. It is a program that can be used for theming Plymouth (so, you can choose the default theme).

This is the PPA you need:

https://launchpad.net/~mefrio-g/+archive/plymouthmanager

To add the PPA and install the program:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mefrio-g/plymouthmanager
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install plymouth-manager

Then, if you don´t want to keep Plymouth Manager:

sudo apt-get purge plymouth-manager
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:mefrio-g/plymouthmanager

Last line is needed for removing the PPA.
