When I installed Kubuntu desktop to try KDE in my laptop, it replaced my earlier Ubuntu usplash such that when I booted up it showed a kubuntu splash screen. I have been wondering how to change this back for almost a month now, having tried a few tricks which did not work.
Today, when trying to get something for ‘tuxplorer’s query, I got to see this ubuntu forum post which actually helped me in getting back my ubuntu usplash screen. Here is what you gotta do..
techno_freak@edgy:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so Password: There are 2 alternatives which provide `usplash-artwork.so'. Selection Alternative ----------------------------------------------- 1 /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-ubuntu.so *+ 2 /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-kubuntu.so Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: 1 Using `/usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-ubuntu.so' to provide `usplash-artwork.so'.
techno_freak@edgy:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-10-386
Great!
Thank you.

Thanks for this, been looking for a solution.
Thank you!
Thanks!
I used to know how to do this from a link that redirected from this page:
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde
(this is a very useful page by the way)
and the link on how to switch the artwork died.
Thank you for posting this!
