I hate Plymouth as much as I hate KDE4. Whatever
pimp-faced
form-over-function moron who decided to inflict this crap upon us
obviously doesn't use encrypted hard disks. I do, so the damn thing keeps
failing and forcing me to boot several times until the damn thing finally
boots correctly. I am absolutely sick of it, it has to go.
But there is no 'kdm' program installed and there doesn't seem to be any
for me to install in Adept Manager either. How am I going to boot into
KDE3/Trinity when I finally get rid of Plymouth?
TIA

Look for kdm-kde3 or kdm-trinity, depending on whether you use Debian or
Ubuntu. kdm-kde3 would be in in /etc/init on Ubuntu, as the older SysV
init system has been largely replaced with the faster Upstart system,
whereas kdm-trinity is still in /etc/init.d/ under Debian.
Hope this helps,
