Remove XFCE Start-Up/Loading/Boot Screen While Keeping XFCE
I've recently gotten Xfce on my Unity machine. I want to keep Unity and Xfce, but how do I remove the boot/loading screen that says "Xubuntu" when I want it to say "Ubuntu" like it did before I installed Xfce. Please help!
EDIT: I did dpkg-query -W | grep plymouth and it returned
libplymouth4:amd64 0.9.2-3ubuntu13.1
plymouth 0.9.2-3ubuntu13.1

Maybe uninstall Unity and reinstall it. I have a similar problem in Xubuntu: i installed lubuntu-desktop in it, and now a horrific login wallpaper is freaking me out each time i want to login. I tried to change it manually with another jpg file, but that messes both the xfce and lxde login. My guess is that the last one installed is assuming leader role and acts very boss.

The boot splash was changed to "Xubuntu" instead of "Ubuntu" because the following packages were installed together with Xubuntu meta package:
plymouth-theme-xubuntu-logo 16.04.2
plymouth-theme-xubuntu-text 16.04.2
These packages are dependencies of xubuntu-artwork package, which is in turn, one of the dependencies of xubuntu-desktop meta package. You can also check this by running apt-cache rdepends <PACKAGE> to check reverse dependencies for particular package.
Removing "Xubuntu" boot splash
To permanently remove the boot splash, run the following command.
sudo apt-get purge plymouth-theme-xubuntu*
This command will select both packages above by using an asterisk * as wildcard, which is convenient to remove multiple packages with similar prefix naming.
Finally, reboot to see changes.
Alternative commands
You can also do the same by specifying the package names.
sudo apt-get purge plymouth-theme-xubuntu-logo plymouth-theme-xubuntu-text
With recent versions of APT, the command can be as short as below.
sudo apt purge plymouth-theme-xubuntu*
Regardless of any command above, no further configuration is needed. APT will run relevant commands and reconfigure the boot splash automatically for you.
