Hello,
I was trying to change the boot screen and remove the ubuntu logo.
I was trying to run in terminal.

sudo cp /usr/share/
this was the answer;
cp: missing destination file operand after `/usr/share/
Try `cp --help' for more information.
javier@javier:~$ cp --help
Usage: cp [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST
or: cp [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
or: cp [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE...
Copy SOURCE to DEST, or multiple SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-a, --archive same as -dR --preserve=all
-
-b like --backup but does not accept an argument
-
-d same as --no-dereference --preserve=links
-f, --force if an existing destination file cannot be
-i, --interactive prompt before overwrite (overrides a previous -n
-H follow command-line symbolic links in SOURCE
-l, --link link files instead of copying
-L, --dereference always follow symbolic links in SOURCE
-n, --no-clobber do not overwrite an existing file (overrides
-P, --no-dereference never follow symbolic links in SOURCE
-p same as --preserve=
-
-
--parents use full source file name under DIRECTORY
-R, -r, --recursive copy directories recursively
-
--sparse=WHEN control creation of sparse files
-
-s, --symbolic-link make symbolic links instead of copying
-S, --suffix=SUFFIX override the usual backup suffix
-t, --target-
-T, --no-target-
-u, --update copy only when the SOURCE file is newer
-v, --verbose explain what is being done
-x, --one-file-system stay on this file system
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
By default, sparse SOURCE files are detected by a crude heuristic and the
corresponding DEST file is made sparse as well. That is the behavior
selected by --sparse=auto. Specify --sparse=always to create a sparse DEST
file whenever the SOURCE file contains a long enough sequence of zero bytes.
Use --sparse=never to inhibit creation of sparse files.
The backup suffix is `~', unless set with --suffix or SIMPLE_
The version control method may be selected via the --backup option or through
the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the values:
none, off never make backups (even if --backup is given)
numbered, t make numbered backups
existing, nil numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise
simple, never always make simple backups
As a special case, cp makes a backup of SOURCE when the force and backup
options are given and SOURCE and DEST are the same name for an existing,
regular file.

Aslo tried to remove the ubuntu logo thru startup manager by
changing 1280x1024 and 24 bits in the "Resolution" and "Color depth" drop-down menus. Also, check the "Show boot splash" option, and you can reduce the "Timeout in seconds" option to 0 (zero)!
But no luck Ubuntu Logo is still active. I think my plymouth themes are missing.
Can you help? thanks in advance.

You seem to have missed a space between "/usr/share/ applications/ gnome-appearanc e-properties. desktop" and "/usr/share/ gdm/autostart/ LoginWindow"
Your command should be
sudo cp /usr/share/ applications/ gnome-appearanc e-properties. desktop /usr/share/ gdm/autostart/ LoginWindow
Not a bug. Marking as invalid.
