My laptop, Lenovo X200 Tablet, has Xubuntu 18.04 installed. Yesterday there was an update (upgrade?) which I allowed to run. When finished it required a reboot. Upon rebooting, after the GRUB screen that allows me to choose which version to boot, I see some disk activity, but nothing else. Grub tells me I'm trying to boot Ubuntu, with Linux 5.3.0-28-generic. I can boot into recovery mode. I fussed around there, ran some update it wanted, and continued on to resume booting. I was warned about something not being a normal boot, and if things weren't right I should just do a normal reboot. (Words to that effect.) I did a normal reboot, but the original problem remains.

I tried having GRUB boot the previous kernel(?), Linux 5.3.0-26-generic, and have the same problem, a blank screen, a bunch of disk activity, and then nothing. Pushing the power button to force a shutdown works, and I briefly seen the Xubuntu splash screen before power down.

There are two other GRUB options after 5.3.0-26. 5.0.0-37 boots normally. 4.18.0-25 also boots normally. They both have the "System program problem detected" box after things settle down.

I don't know if that sheds any light on the subject.
