Hello!

You could install grub-customizer (plus its PPA) and grub2-splashimages to 'pimp' out your GRUB screen and make it say anything you want it to...

It could be the default way, but I think it's nicer to just say "Linux Lite 2.0" :)

Edit:
@misko_2083: that actually worked, thanks :)

I got the same output.



Maybe that's the correct way to display it I think.

I guess you can pipe the output to cut.
Code: [Select]
lsb_release -d | cut --output-delimiter=Description: -f 2In the /etc/default/grub file it will look like this:
Code: [Select]
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="`lsb_release -d | cut --output-delimiter=Description: -f 2`"Remember to run 'update-grub' after you make the changes!
Code: [Select]
sudo update-grubCheers :)

I just did a clean install and I noticed something strange in Grub2. It says "Description:       Linux Lite 2.0" instead of just plain "Linux Lite 2.0". This is generated by the lsb_release -d command in /etc/default/grub:

Code: [Select]
gayle@lite:~$ lsb_release -d
Description: Linux Lite 2.0

Is there any way to change this?
