I just installed Ubuntu Budgie 20.04 on my main desktop (Acer). I was happily surprised that it can install onto the SSD which was not an option with Ubuntu 18.04. This gave me the added benefit that I did not have to wipe my HDD where 18.04 was installed.
The problem is now when I boot and press F12 (to get the boot menu, which is not a grub menu), I see two options:
- ubuntu
- ubuntu
As these two are identical, there is no way to tell which is 18.04 (HDD) and which is 20.04 (SSD). I would like to rename these two entries but I cannot see where to do this.
I thought it might be picking up things on grub on each drive but I did not see "ubuntu" in grub anywhere. So, I tried Grub Customizer but that only showed me "Ubuntu" not "ubuntu" so I thought it was not that.
Then I decided to try boot-repair. After this, I now see two items when I press F12:
- ubuntu
- USFI: Kingston blahblahblah
As I believe boot-repair only changes grub, I now feel more confident that the answer lies within grub.
As my SSD is Kingston I can now tell the difference. However, I would really like to actually rename these two something like
- Ubuntu 18.04
- Ubuntu 20.04
Is there any way to see this when pressing F12 to get the boot menu?
