I was trying to upgrade ubuntu version from 20.04 lts to its newest version 20.10 . I was watching the upgrading process but left it for 10 mintutes or so..when I came back it showed me the login screen . I entered my password and pressed ENTER but it didn't start and was completely blank for 5 minutes so I shut it off.

Now When I boot my computer I can see the GRUB menu as usual.

I tried to enter ubuntu but it doesn't work just blank .

So I tried opening the terminal using Ctl+Alt+T and F-keys as well. When I try to boot it in recovery mode it the same thing happens. I don't get the normal option menu that comes in recovery mode.

NOTE: I am booting in insecure mode .

I tried it all..can anybody please help me out with this ?

Perhaps an Ubuntu and GRUB reinstallation would fix your issue. Download them onto an SD or USB like normal, and reinstall the tools, making sure to save any data or settings you would like to keep.

If this doesn't work, or you have perhaps already tried this, as a last resort only, delete the partitions Ubuntu is on and reinstall from scratch. If you absolutely must delete Ubuntu, be sure to back up your partitions to another external hard drive or separate storage partition on the disk like Local Disk C: (or whatever you have Windows assigned to.) I repeat, this is a last resort only. Be sure to keep what you want.
