I have a Lenovo E480 with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04. Yesterday, the laptop could not be booted up after it went into sleep in Windows. When I tried restarting the laptop, I got the error message
Unexpected return from initial read:Volume Corrupt, buffersize 1000
Failed to load image \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.fi: Volume Corrupt
start_image() returned Volume Corrupt
I booted from a USB thumb drive version of 18.04 and tried to use boot-repair but the entire process hung for about 30 minutes before I Ctrl-C and killed the process.
I uploaded the boot-repair info to here.
Could someone please kindly advise me on what I should do? Thanks!
Edit 1:
I can still boot up Windows by manually choosing the Windows bootloader from BIOS. However, I cannot boot Ubuntu 18.04.
Edit 2:
This is the readout from boot-repair

Suggested repair: ______________________________________________________________
The default repair of the Boot-Repair utility would reinstall the grub-efi of
nvme0n1p5,
using the following options: nvme0n1p1/boot/efi
Additional repair would be performed: unhide-bootmenu-10s use-standard-efi-file
Final advice in case of suggested repair: ______________________________________
Please do not forget to make your UEFI firmware boot on the Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS entry (nvme0n1p1/efi/****/grub****.efi (**** will be updated in the final message) file) !
