Okay, so I have been running 18.04 on my MSI GS63 laptop since it came out with no problems whatsoever. Today I went to shut down and checked the box "Install upgrades on startup" (not exact wording but you know what I mean). Anyway, when I went to start the computer back up again, it kept hanging at at splash. After trying multiple times and getting the same result, I went into the ubuntu advanced settings. What I found there is confusing me very much. Here are the four lines that appeared:
-Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-23-generic
-Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-23-generic (recovery)
-Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-22-generic
-Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-22-generic (recovery)
So I tried running the third line (with the 22 instead of the 23) and it booted up perfectly. However, now the only way I am able to boot into Ubuntu is by manually going into the advanced options every time and selecting that line. If I try to boot normally, splash hangs.
I am very curious. What does the 22/23 bit represent? Why are there 4 lines instead of only 2, which is what I have seen on other Ubuntu systems? I'm a total noob with this operating system stuff, but I very much want to learn and understand. But I would also like to solve this problem.
