How can I restore my boot screen in ubuntu 12.04?

Solution 1:

Found a solution here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1989879

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth

sudo update-initramfs -u

Had to restart a couple of times, but all reset.

Solution 2:

You can do the same thing a little easier

sudo apt-get install --reinstall plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo
