After removing/purging LXDE and Lubuntu-desktop, I tried restoring my Ubuntu sign-on screen by editing lightdm.conf. Unfortunately, the Ubuntu splash screen hung after selecting Ubuntu at the grub screen.

I additionally tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm before and after installing gdm but was unsuccessful. Reinstalling lightdm also didn't do anything.

Does anyone know of a different way to restore the Ubuntu sign-on screen? Thank you!

Edit: For clarification, sign-on screen means where you choose account and enter password, not the splash screen.

You need to run sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth and then run sudo update-initramfs -u

Edit 1: As was stated here you need to add 

[SeatDefaults]
greeter-session=unity-greeter
user-session=ubuntu

to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and then reinstall and purge lightdm completely.
