[Bug 1077643] Re: Ubuntu+Kubuntu dual boot, UEFI both use /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu - i.e it overwrites the previous UEFI entry.

[Phillip Susi]

The name of the entry is taken from /etc/default/grub, in the variable
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR, which is set to query lsb_release by default.  If you
want each install to have its own efi entry, you can customize this
value.

Title:
   Ubuntu+Kubuntu dual boot, UEFI both use /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu  - i.e
  it  overwrites the previous UEFI entry.

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi

  I have a UEFI system running various OS's.

  i.e

  opensuse, arch, ubuntu, kubuntu

  My issue is that both ubuntu + kubuntu share the same UEFI folder -
  /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu meaning that when I install the 2nd (of the 2
  ubuntu based os's) it overwrites the previous UEFI entry.

  I can still access the other on via grub, however I like to use rEFInd
  to boot into os's, I believe it detects os's my folder within
  /boot/efi/EFI/

  How can I change it so that kubuntu for example uses
  /boot/efi/EFI/kubuntu ? and thus has a seperate entry with the UEFI
  menu ?

  (i.e opensuse, arch are fine as they have seperate UEFI entries
  anyway.)
