Hi!
Use Lite Tweaks and choose "Boot up Fix - Restore the boot splash to Linux Lite."
Press than "Begin".
That is all!
Regards!

- Open /etc/default/grub as Administrator.
- Comment out: GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` and leave GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Linux Lite' uncommented.
- Should look like:
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Linux Lite'
#GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
and finally:
[...]Code:sudo update-grub
I'd rather KISS!

I like to KISS too... But (should folks come along)
The OP asks to CHANGE the boot entry (GRUB) from Ubuntu to Linux Lite..
Your post tells him how to reset the Boot Splash ("feather") screen - this can happen when one see's a blank or changed boot splash screen..
The instruction provided are verbatim from the LL5.0 - Release Announcements (if there was a simpler way I'm sure it be listed there)
Also see the Boot Up Fix (Splash) - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/linux.../#msg12383
Added Bootup Fix - restores the Linux Lite splash screen if it gets overwritten by a system update (Ubuntu splash).

Good to hear you have it worked out!!! As its been corrected you can mark the thread resolved

Yes, Sir! ;D
I forgot I used "Grub Customizer" and then after installing LL 5.0 it had "Delay=0" so it actually entered the boot sequence without asking what to load.
Since I never bothered because GRUB can be accessed if necessary, I forgot about multi-boot. Lately, I gave up installing dual/multi boot. I prefer using an external drive and boot from it. It's safer and easier to backup (CloneZilla) this way.
Sometimes is very handy to have a (different) setup on an external, for some specific tasks.
Besides, it only takes a few seconds to switch from one setup to the other.
Here is for one:
I have two graphic cards and would like to see if I can use "Hybrid Graphics". It is far morre convenient to do this on a "clean install", than mess with the main installation.
So probably my approach was flawed by some old habits of mine: backup everything than change whatever, then if something goes sideways..., restore.
Thanks for pointing out the difference!
All the best!
