I installed Ubuntu 13.04. Then I installed too KDE Plasma Environment. Then I removed KDE. Everything went fine. I can now log with Ubuntu (Unity).

Only (small) remaining problem: on the boot page (Grub), the command line does not show "Ubuntu 13.04" but "Kubuntu 13.04". Is there a way to fix this little inconvenience? Thanks in advance.

Default value of variable GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR is set to
lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian by /etc/default/grub script while generating grub.cfg.

Check your /etc/default/grub.d/ directory for scripts which could overwrite this variable.

In my case it was /etc/default/grub.d/50_kubuntu.cfg which has been created by KDE Plasma Environment so I deleted it and generated grub.cfg again.

To solve this problem, simply type into terminal:

sudo rm /etc/default/grub.d/50_kubuntu.cfg
sudo update-grub
0

Just run in a terminal the following command:

sudo update-grub

If still the problem persist, run:

sudo sed -i 's/Kubuntu/Ubuntu/g' /boot/grub/grub.cfg

The problem might be the kernel and initrd images (vmlinuz-* , initrd.img-* ). Try reinstalling your kernels and it might fix the problem.
