Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub2

my computer crashed some point during the update to version 10 from 9. at one point a message on my screen said something about system using low graphics. I can't explain much since I left the computer upgrading through the night and when I woke up to check my laptop was acting funny still sleepy I was trying to change the graphic mode to one of the options on the screen but it wouldn't respond so I canceled it however when it went to the start up screen it stuck there I had to do a hard shut down to get the computer to start normally but there was a bunch of stuff on the screen something about recover mode the screen didn't stay up long enough for me to read all that was on it. Anyhow it started and took me to my log on screen after putting in my pass word it opened to my normal screen. However a message came up letting me know that the grun package did not update. This is new to me so I cannot explain much else.
