I’m not completely sure what you are wanting to change. However, I’ll
try a guess. If I misunderstood, then maybe you will be able to give
more detail.

Yast → System → Boot Loader

Assuming that you are using either grub2 or grub2-efi, there will be a
place on the screen labeled “Distributor”. The first word of that
“Distributor” field is the name that grub2 uses in its menu. Change
that and save the result.

Alternatively, you can edit “/etc/default/grub” and edit the line
beginning “GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=”. If you do it this way, you also need to
regenerate the config file with

Code:

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg



-opensuse 13.2; KDE 4.14.9 (main desktop and laptop);
–opensuse tumbleweed; Plasma 5 (test system);-

If trying to change the names of the various boot options in Grub2, one
way to do this is using “’grub-customizer’
(http://software.opensuse.org/package/grub-customizer)”.

Wrt the Grub2 entry orders and labels, I recently used
“’grub-customizer’
(http://software.opensuse.org/package/grub-customizer)” to name the
Grub2 entries on the PC of my 89+ year old mother - such that she could
better understand them. It also allowed me to place the Grub2 entries
into the order that I wanted my mother to see.

I do not understand your problem.

If it is only the ‘text’ label you are trying to change, then as I noted
earlier, this can be done with ‘grub customizer’
(http://software.opensuse.org/package/grub-customizer).

That’s very likely a side effect of using the public instance of SUSE
Studio - it’s a service provided for free, so there are some branding
elements you cannot change.

It seems reasonable to give credit to the openSUSE project for a respin,
which is what it seems you’re trying to build.

If you want more flexibility, use Kiwi or purchase the SUSE Studio Onsite
product; both of those options give you full customizability.

If you install another distro which uses GRUB2, you would have to make
the adjustments in that distro, since you’re booting openSUSE from that
distro.

  • Athlon X6 3.6 GHz, 16 GB DDR3, 64 GB SSD, 3 TB of disks, GT540,
    openSUSE Factory + KDE
  • ASUS A73SD, Intel + GT610M Optimus, 6 GB, 2 x 120 GB SSD, openSUSE
    Factory + KDE

ANYTHING THAT CAN GO WRONG… WILL TEACH US

Kiwi is an image building system that runs on your local system. You
will want to read about it - seach for ‘opensuse kiwi’ to get started.

It’s not a simple process - certainly not as simple as SUSE Studio - and
requires some command-line skills to use.

Is there another way to do it.

Creating a script to edit the files you always want to shut down or
reboot the system.

I have this doubt also

The way I suggested is probably your best bet - otherwise, you’re looking
for a way to circumvent something that SUSE put in place on their free
service.

Asking users of their service to display that they used SUSE’s free
service isn’t a huge ask. For those who don’t want it, there are other
ways to achieve the same goal, but they require more work.
