Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

What have you repaired and how?

If you can boot Ubuntu in Legacy mode, then it is likely installed correctly, but in Legacy mode (the way you boot the install media matters to get it installed in EFI or legacy mode).

What are you seeing on screen when you try to boot to Ubuntu? Could you please attach a picture of what is on screen or otherwise describe what happens when you try to boot?
