I was trying to fix the boot loader because it was showing the processes as I shut down my laptop as well as fix the problem of the Ubuntu logo with the loading dots because it was off center and usually in a very small font size. So I followed these steps on a post on OMG Ubuntu and now things are completely screwed up.

Not only is it still doing the same thing on shut down but it switched my entire settings in Unity.

So what I'm asking is how do I restore things back to before I installed the "fix?"

Para los ususarios de Ubuntu 12.04 si instalaron sus drivers privativos Nvidia y al iniciar Ubuntu no les aparaece el logo en el arranque (la animacionde inicio de arranque con el logo de Ubuntu), entonces puede visitar esta página a ver si les funciona:

Yo estoy tratando de restaurar como estaba al principio, luego comentaré a ver si me solucionó el problema con el Plymouth-Manager (antes llamado boot-manager).

If you want to revert what that script did, do:

  1. Open a gnome-terminal (press Alt + F2 and type gnome-terminal).

  2. Open the GRUB default configuration file (you will get asked for your password):

    gksu gedit /etc/default/grub

  3. Replace the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=... line with

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

  4. Replace the line starting with GRUB_GFXMODE=... with

    #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

    Save and close.

  5. Open the initramfs modules file:

    gksu gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

  6. Delete the line starting with uvesafb mode_option=. save and exit.

  7. Remove the splash configuration file:

    sudo rm /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash

  8. Run sudo update-grub

  9. Run sudo update-initramfs -c -k all

  10. Reboot.

This should restore the old state.

  • For step 3. The file is opening up as read only. Don't know why it's doing that. As for step 2. if my laptop monitor's resolution is 13668x768 should I change it to that or what you posted?

  • I edited more detail into my answer. As for the resolution - that line is commented out, so it doesn't matter what you put there.

Rather than fixing Plymouth, I believe this just uses framebuffer during boot with a user-chosen resolution. It will give you more than text during boot, at least.
