I feel like this should be at the very least a Wishlist. For the record, your "Consider this" argument is a straw-man. I never suggested that something should be able to always update GRUB listings if a user does something drastic like installing ubuntu-desktop and removing Lubuntu.
I feel strongly that at the time of installation, GRUB should accurately and precisely reflect what was ACTUALLY installed. Back when I installed Fedora, for instance, my GRUB listed precisely what was installed - including the version number and silly release codename. Installing Lubuntu 14.10 - Utopic Unicorn lists simply "Ubuntu". Neither accurate nor precise. Put yourself in the shoes of a new user to Linux. After Googling or asking a chatroom or something, a new user might ultimately decide to install Lubuntu. After installing, being unsure what's going on, hoping things went correctly, that new user takes out the CD and reboots, but then GRUB pops up saying "boot to Ubuntu or Windows" - gosh, that new user might be really worried, because he or she tried to install LUbuntu, not Ubuntu - the chatroom suggested he or she'd be better off using something with lower resources. I understand that I'm an unusual user who would have a Lubuntu partition and an Ubuntu partition, but IMO any user would benefit from a more accurate or precise description in the GRUB menu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1409209 Title: After installing Lubuntu from USB stick, GRUB mistakenly lists Lubuntu as Ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1409209/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
