Is There A Way Or A Means To Get My Linux Ubuntu GNU Grub Boot Screen And My Ubuntu Logo With Progress Meter At The Start Of Booting/Startup To Regain The Traditional Ubuntu GUI Appearance WITHOUT...?
Hello. I have a question to ask you. I am using Linux Ubuntu v.12.04 64-bit LTS operating system.
I installed KDE Plasma Workspace into my Linux Ubuntu v.12.04 64-bit LTS operating system [see website: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde]. Even thought I have installed the KDE Plasma Workspace GUI and desktop environment and let it remain as part of my Ubuntu system because I wanted too for future use, I have reverted back to my traditional and default “Ubuntu” GUI and desktop environment performed at the Ubuntu login screen. The changed my desired desktop environment at the Ubuntu login screen back to "Ubuntu" GUI. However, I still notice differences as lingering GUI remnants of the KDE Plasma Workspace to a few early booting/startup interfaces. I notice now that the GNU GRUB boot screen (“GNU GRUB version 1.99-21ubuntu3”), followed by the Ubuntu logo with progress meter at the start of booting/startup my Linux Ubuntu v.12.04 64-bit LTS is been visually modified and redesigned with a light-gray appearance. The Ubuntu logo is different where it does not reflect the exact design of the Ubuntu logo by default. This is all shown prior to the Ubuntu login screen. I assume installing the KDE Plasma Workspace metapackage had incorporated redesign modifications to some of the system wide default and typical Ubuntu GUI appearances.
Question:
Is there a way or a means to get my Linux Ubuntu GNU GRUB boot screen and my Ubuntu logo with progress meter at the start of booting/startup to regain the traditional Ubuntu GUI appearance WITHOUT uninstallling The KDE Plasma Workspace metapackage? Please explain. If our answer or solution is a process where it involves a series of steps, please define them too.
Please reply.
Thank you!

Hello again. Thank you for your comment.
First, I have a question for you, may I ask how did you know I had two previous versions available??? Please explain.
To answer your questions, first, I have only one previous version available. I used Computer Janitor when i was back in the previous distribution of v.11.10 of Ubuntu 64-bit and it cleaned out v.11.04 64-bit or the starting clean install distro. of my Linux Ubuntu. Therefore for "Previous Linux Versions" on the GRUB screen, I have only "Ubuntu, with Linux 3.0.0-17-generic" (without the quotes) and "Ubuntu, with Linux 3.0.0-17-generic (recovery mode)" (without the quotes) options. Therefore for the previous version of v.11.04 64-bit, using the 'recovery mode' option did not revert me back to my Linux v.11.04 64-bit -- still remained with Linux Ubuntu v.12.04 64-bit LTS. So to answer your question, "do you see the same changes with the older kernels?"; I cannot help you there. Sorry.
To answer your second question, "What is the output for -- $ uname -a -- by the way?"; the answer is:
Linux troy-P5Q 3.2.0-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 21 16:52:17 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I hope these stats will determine the cause of this issue.
Please reply.
Thank you!

Hello again.
Thank you for your latest comment.
So, let me ask you. Are you saying that when the "ORIGINAL kernel' is removed from the system (This is the very first clean install a user uses of a version/kernel of Linux Ubuntu to install Linux Ubuntu), but the later (newer) kernel(s) or version(s) of Linux Ubuntu are still showing intact in the GRUB screen; then you CAN NOT go back to ANY of the older versions/kernels if I even wished to???
Please reply and explain. I know this issue is getting side tracked from the question/thread here, but you raised this new issue that I never knew existed if what you are telling me in your last comment is true.
Please reply.
Thank you!

Interesting. I guess I'm going to have to uninstall plasma and see what options I gain.
I just recently discovered the
unity --reset
command after screwing up the desktop on the machine I have with 12.04 on it, trying to figure out how to get rid of the shared file/edit/view menu on the top panel.
It was completly borked - couldn't resize or move any windows, the menu bar was gone from the left side and the top panel was gone, too. Had to Ctrl+Alt+F2 and login a command line where I could run "sudo su -" to take root, then run unity --reset and reboot.
