Not sure proposed fix is all of issue. I boot 18.04 by default with UEFI and every test or experimental install in the past has overwritten my /EFI/ubuntu. But install of Cosmic did not overwrite my /EFI/ubuntu but created /EFI/grub. It has a correct /EFI/grub/grub.cfg, but my UEFI is set to default boot using /EFI/ubuntu. But booting grub UEFI entry booted me into my default install. Issue is similar to previous bug reports where a change to GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR= creates a new UEFI entry, but internally either efi_distributor or perhaps just the code that defines where to find grub is hard coded to /EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg. It needs to use grub.cfg in the ESP folder it creates. And kluge on Kubuntu should finally be fixed.
