I installed kubuntu into its own partitions on my laptop drive which already had a windows recovery partition and a windows partition. Everything runs correctly except that the grub menu has mislabelled the 2 windows partitions.
It has my main windows partition labeled as the recovery partition, and my recovery partition is labelled as the main windows partition.
From what I can tell, it's getting this info from probing the available OS info? How can I fix this? When I checked the 30_os_prober file, it just has code to get the "LONGNAME" automatically, instead of a way for me to specify the names.
I also looked at getting "Grub Customizer" but when I try to install it, it says it requires a bunch of other files, and then it says it is impossible to install those other files.
Sooooo... If anyone can point out how I can update my menu the right way, since I know I'm not supposed to edit the grub.cfg file directly. (can I though, if I make a backup of it?)
Thanks!
