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

[Arny006]

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

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:

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###

		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
