Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub2
On grub2 you only can change a menuentry on /boot/grub/grub.cfg but this file is automatically created for update-grub. If you modify that file, you lose your custom configuration and the file says: # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-11-generic" { recordfail=1 save_env recordfail set quiet=1 insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,6) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 590c22cb-5c99-4270-a154-4e6df62d1b4c linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-11-generic root=UUID=590c22cb-5c99-4270-a154-4e6df62d1b4c ro locale=es_ ES splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-11-generic } The only file for grub2 customization is /etc/default/grub, but it don't have a option for change a menuentry like above. I propose put a option like: GRUB_MENUENTRY = ["Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-11-generic", "My custom name"] That var or array change the name of menuentry Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-11-generic to "My custom name" ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Wed Sep 30 20:17:48 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 Package: grub2 1.97~beta3-1ubuntu6 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-11.36-generic SourcePackage: grub2 Uname: Linux 2.6.31-11-generic i686 ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 -- Grub2 don't provide a option for rename menuentry on /etc/default/grub https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439538 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
