After I switch off the UEFI in BIOS, saved the changes and reboot the system. I login the system and run the following command:

  Report details:
  when I upgrade from 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS at May 2, 2018 with the following commands:
      1. sudo apt update
      2. sudo apt upgrade
      3. sudo apt dist-upgrade
      4. sudo apt install update-manager-core
      5. sudo do-release-upgrade -d

  I met the lots of dependencies broken errors, and then I try to use a commond to fix the errors following:
      1. sudo apt-get install -f
  it's doesn't work.

  So I try to reinstall the 18.04 LTS with USB IOS method, there is an
  issues at install grub2 processing, there is a message popped up and
  can't close it, so I power off and reboot manually.

  The previous grub2 still works, I choose the first ubuntu option and login the 18.04 LTS system.
  Finally crashed report popped up and I submit this report.
