    Name of the distribution after update from 12.04 to 12.10

    First thx to kubuntu developers...amazing work

    I have kubuntu 12.04.
    Then yesterday i upgrade online to 12.10

    Now when i type in a terminal:
    cat /proc/version
    the output is this:
    Linux version 3.5.0-17-generic (buildd@roseapple) (gcc version 4.7.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.2-2ubuntu1) ) #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 9 19:32:08 UTC 2012

    Why i don't see kubuntu in there ?

    Thx in advance.....

    Because /proc/version displays information about the Linux kernel, not the full distribution.

    The command lsb_release -a displays distribution information. Since Kubuntu is built upon Ubuntu, that command reports values for Ubuntu. But you'll still know you're running Kubuntu because you're looking at the KDE desktop

        If you want, you can do what I did. Edit (as root) the /etc/default/grub file and change the GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR= to GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Kubuntu'

        Save the file and then in a console type:
        Code:
        sudo update-grub2
        Windows no longer obstructs my view.
        Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.
