I realized that I made changes in how plymouth shows the splash screen as these steps:

sudo apt-get install v86d

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

And replace the line 9:

 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280×768-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"

And replace line 18

#GRUB_GFXMODE=640×480

to

GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768

I checked if the "" were bad as bug 590524, and then there were no bad "" as the moron that wrote that web page: http://lavidalinux.com.ar/2010/05/como-arreglar-plymouth-en-ubuntu-10-04.html
the only thing that were bad was this:

Line 11 in /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" vga=786"

corrected this as

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vga=786"

Then the things didn't went better, still I have the annoying:

Configurando grub-pc (1.98-1ubuntu7) ...
dpkg: error al procesar grub-pc (--configure):
 el subproceso script post-installation instalado devolvió el código de salida de error 128
Se encontraron errores al procesar:
 grub-pc

every time I make an update and an upgrade or I use synaptic.
