UEFI boot menu shows incorrect entry names #13

Description

@TraceyC77

Please confirm there isn't an existing open bug report

  • I have searched open bugs for this issue

Summary

When I boot a Flex laptop that was updated from 4.5 to 4.6, I see two entries for Solus, as expected (lts and current kernels are installed)
The names are incorrect
The culprit may be clr-boot-manager

Steps to reproduce

  1. Boot the system

Expected result

Two entries, one for each kernel installed, with the name of the kernel (this is correctly displayed on another machine)
Each entry references Convergence, not Resilience

  • "Solus 4.6 Convergence (solus-current-6.11.5-307.conf) "
  • "Solus 4.6 Convergence (solus-lts-6.6.11-270.conf) "

Actual result

Two entries:

  • "Solus 4.6 Convergence"
  • "Solus 4.5 Resilience"

Environment

  • Is system up to date?

Repo

Unstable

Desktop Environment

Other comments

The system has had regular updates. There has been no customization of UEFI.
I have the -current (6.11.5-307) and -lts (6.6.11-270) kernels installed
in /boot/EFI/com.solus-project I see the files for both kernels
I have run sudo clr-boot-manager update and rebooted

In the EFI Setup Utility menu, boot mode is UEFI
I see the EFI entries (the laptop shipped with ubuntu)
Solus Linux Bootloader
Windows Boot Manager
ubuntu
ubuntu

If I boot using the "4.5 Resilience" entry, the system boots but is unresponsive to mouse, keyboard or touchpad so I can't actually log in. Not sure what's happening there
If I boot into the 4.5 Convergence entry, the system boots with the current kernel as expected

I was able to replicate in a VM with UEFI that hadn't yet been updated to 4.6 (Solus 4.5 kernel 6.10.6-300, Plasma 6.1.5
It only has the current kernel installed

Updated via Software Center and rebooted
The entries have the correct kernel text, but all entries start with "Solus 4.5 Resilience"
there were two entries for the 6.11 kernel? and one for 6.10

I then ran clr-boot-manager update and rebooted again
At that point, the only entry for Solus in the boot menu says
"Solus 4.6 Convergence" - no kernel string
