Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub-pc
Hi
I'm on Ubuntu Lucid, version of April 4th
Actually, despite Ubuntu doc, I cannot change anything in the "start
menu" line corresponding to Lucid start.
I wanted to have the "start menu" looking like this: Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid, Linux
2.6.32 ….
instead of: Ubuntu , Linux 2.6.32 …. (with no version #, what kind of Ubuntu is
it, 9.10 - 10.04?)
So, as the doc says, in /etc/default/grub, I replaced
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
By
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`echo -n $(lsb_release -cir 2> /dev/null || echo Debian)`
Then : sudo update-grub
And reboot
Big surprise: in the start menu the only thing remaining was "Windows
Seven"!! a shame!
I've tried to investigate and did the following:
As previously, I changed the line in /etc/default/grub, but I did not replace
"–i –s", I just added "-r" to it
That means that if you change anything behind the "-" argument, grub is
lost and displays NOTHING regarding the current version.
I did the same thing in Karmic, but it worked. Hope you can fix this
