The title says it all. It's a bit of an eyesore with propriety NVIDIA drivers, so I tried here. I'm pretty sure I reversed all settings, when it did not work for me. But now:

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth

Returns error:

update-alternatives: error: cannot stat file '/lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth': Too many levels of symbolic links

I just wanna revert back to the vanilla 12.04 LTS Plymouth splash. Thanks. Also:

sudo gedit /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth

Returns:

"The number of followed links is limited and the actual file could not be found within this limit."

I can open up the manager and it appears to do what it is supposed to (minus the fact that I can't make my own theme) and the screen only shows… >>> More
