I just installed Ubuntu 20.04 on a laptop. It had been previously running 18.04 (mostly) fine. After installing, it just stayed stuck on the GRUB menu and any time I tried to select Ubuntu it would just print that error a few times and return to the menu.

I tried boot repair two times with different options, all default on the first and secure boot disabled the second time. I have four partitions on /dev/nvme0n1: an EFI partition, a swap partition, an unused ext4 partition, and my main partition.

I have the first and second boot repair outputs. I can't find any solutions online which fix the issue.

Okay, I found the solution a few days ago. I doubt very many people will end up in a similar situation, but just in case:

What happened was that I had two bootloaders. I'm not sure why, but the default one was what caused that error message to appear.

I fixed it with this solution, and everything worked.

The most likely cause of this was installing Ubuntu (as well as a few other distros) multiple times, trying to get things working properly, and unknowingly choosing different partitions for the bootloader.
