my grub

Today, 23 feb '18, i updated KDE Neon to latest version. Now Grub shows me Ubuntu instead of neon GNU/Linux (or whatever it was). Not a problem, i rename it, but i also have "Advanced options for Ubuntu" above "Advanced options for neon GNU/Linux", i put a screenshot to be mo' clear.

This is caused by the base-files package. This package contains (among others) the OS name and version. KDE neon customizes it to put its name and version instead of the ones from Ubuntu.

Ubuntu has very recently published an update to this package, in preparation for the 16.04.4 LTS release (basically, they updated their version number).

This the Ubuntu version is more recent (more important, it has a bigger version number), it has replaced the KDE neon version.

KDE neon will need to re-customize this package to reintroduce their name and version number.

base-files version 9.4ubuntu4.6+p16.04+git20180224.1328 has been released by KDE neon and should correct your issue.

Can you confirm that you have "KDE neon" again on GRUB?
