Problem with the way Q4OS names are returned in grub menu - Orion

If you have multiple kernels installed - or indeed if you just want the opportunity to choose how you boot the one kernel then you have a problem.

Normally grub will provide the kernel name and 3 options for booting it.

With Q4OS all you get is 3 lines the same.

With 2 kernels you get 6 lines all the same

Presumably this is from the variables in the GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR line?

Yes, we can confirm this glitch. You need to update '/etc/grub.d/10_linux' file, change the line:

version="$q4osversion"

to be:

version="$2"

and run:
$ sudo update-grub

Excellent - thanks for confirming the syntax.
