While I was using Ubuntu 18.04 I was so annoyed with the purple bootsplash and used a png logo of HP as my bootsplash. But yesterday, I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 and now I realized that the new Ubuntu Studios bootsplash is Amazing! but the problem is that I don't remember how did I set the Hp logo as bootsplash as I can't find it in my Plymouth settings and both boot splashes are merging. So I want to disable the HP logo bootsplash. How can I do it?

  • I'm no expert on this, but you might have put the image file in /boot/grub. I think grub takes the first image it finds there and uses it for a splash image. You can also edit your /etc/default/grub file and change the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT parameter. Please see this question from several years ago: https://askubuntu.com/questions/5065/how-can-i-disable-the-purple-splash-screen-at-boot. –  May 02 '20 at 04:00
  • @StephenDaddona looks like it doesn't help there is no such file in my directory – Ano_nymous1 May 03 '20 at 11:48
  • You might need to do sudo su and then look for /etc/default/grub. Don't forget to run update-grub after you make your changes. –  May 03 '20 at 18:21
  • @StephenDaddona Bruh! now I finally found the final and made the changes. But, I have a question? If I used plymouth theme now . Will it run. Or I have to change the setting again. Thanks, Brother. – Ano_nymous1 May 04 '20 at 10:28
  • Alas, I know nothing of plymouth (or themes either). My hardware was not supported after Ubuntu 14.04 (video card no longer supported in the kernel) so I was never able to upgrade Ubuntu after that. I can only surmise, but I expect that a theme that worked before will continue to work. –  May 05 '20 at 11:15
  • Also, you are saving a backup copy of each file that you change, correct? That is always a good practice. –  May 05 '20 at 11:19

I'm closing this question as I fixed the situation with the help of a very humble guy named @StephenDaddona. Read comments on the first post for the fix. Thank you
