I don't think I ever had mythtv installed on this machine; certainly not mythbuntu.  This does look like the same thing as bug 550237 to me.  I got around it by picking a different session type on login though, rather than by uninstalling packages.  And I get Ubuntu branding now, not Mythbuntu.  None of plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text, lubuntu-plymouth-theme, or
mythbuntu-default-settings was on my system though.  (I may have removed the mythbuntu package myself earlier on).

@Marc: no need to paste bug URLs; just write "bug" followed by the bug

Lucid upgrade makes Mythbuntu my default session

Status in “mythbuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
After upgrading to Lucid, my default session was suddenly Mythbuntu.  So my first impressions after the upgrade were:

 * The logo page says "mythbuntu" instead of "ubuntu"—puzzling but given the new branding, not a clear indication that something is wrong.

 * My session comes up as a black screen with no usable features except a clock in an otherwise empty task bar.  No icons, no menus.

Explicitly picking "Gnome session" as the login session gets around it, though this isn't exactly obvious.

I'm not sure why this happened.  Maybe I installed and un-installed mythtv at some point in the past, or maybe it's because I un-installed compiz to get around graphics driver problems, and so may have had to remove the main ubuntu dependencies package as well.  This was a complete upgrade, not the known "partial upgrade" issue.
