    How can let appear Kubuntu instaed of Ubuntu in grub-boot-menu?

    Hello Mates,

    we have more than one Linux at home on three PC, now appear always Ubuntu and not Kubuntu by booting-process.

    Nobody at home like Ubuntu cause of Kubuntu is stabler and more similar to Microsoft alder OSs (Vista, 7), anyway.

    We would, in the Grub-boot-menu, let appear Kubuntu and not Ubuntu. How can I do that without an 40_custom?

    We would prefer to have:

    OS-Type= Linux + Distri=Kubuntu + Version=12.10 + Istallation-Device=on /dev/sde6 (complete text) -->
    Linux Kubuntu 12.10 (12.10) on /dev/sde6

    That the same of results by making "sudo update-grub" but how to let appear in the Grub-boot-menu?

    Edit /etc/default/grub (as root) and change:

    GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`

    to:

    GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Kubuntu'

    Save and close and run sudo update-grub
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.
    Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

      Thanks a lot for your feedback, that already applied.
      I insert a longer text e.g. 'Linux Kubuntu 12.10 @ 64 Bit @ RAID 0+1' and work great

      On additional HDD (on big PC) are further five Kubuntu (Ku 12.10+13.04, LM 14 +15, UE 3.5) on whose I apply your suggestion.
      While in correlated /boot/grub/grub.cfg are displayed entries correctly, that's not the case on main Grub2 situated on RAID 0+1 with enabled 30_os-prober, see a part of:
      Code:
      ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
      menuentry 'Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (12.04)' --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'osprober-gnulinux-simple-73101155-b919-11e2-9e96-0800200c9a66' {
      	insmod part_msdos
      	insmod ext2
      	set root='hd4,msdos10'
      	if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
      	  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd4,msdos10 --hint-efi=hd4,msdos10 --hint-baremetal=ahci4,msdos10  73101155-b919-11e2-9e96-0800200c9a66

      }

      		set root='hd4,msdos10'
      		if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
      		  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd4,msdos10 --hint-efi=hd4,msdos10 --hint-baremetal=ahci4,msdos10  73101155-b919-11e2-9e96-0800200c9a66
      		else
      		  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 73101155-b919-11e2-9e96-0800200c9a66
      		fi
      		linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-44-generic root=UUID=73101155-b919-11e2-9e96-0800200c9a66 ro quiet splash $vt_handoff
      		initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-44-generic
      	}
      While under "Extended start option for..." the entries are displayed correctly, that's not the case by "menuentry" & "submenu"

      Can I change also these entries?

      Thanks again, Arny
