I have a dual boot system with Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server. GRUB menu says Ubuntu (which is the desktop version) ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS (on /dev/sdb2) (which os the server version)

I would like GRUB to say:

  • ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS Desktop
  • ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS Server

Is there any simple way to achive this.

Regards Bernhard

You can achieve this by editing the Grub config file:

  1. Boot into your Ubuntu Desktop and open the Grub configuration file:

     sudo nano /etc/default/grub

  2. Comment the line starting with GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR and add one line:

    # GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`( . /etc/os-release; echo ${NAME:-Ubuntu} ) 2>/dev/null || echo Ubuntu`
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS Desktop"

  3. Save the file and run the following command:

    sudo update-grub

It will be reflected on the Grub menu on reboot. Do the same to your Ubuntu server OS.
