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 ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- CANNOT CHANGE START MENU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557607 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
