Hi. If could get any assistance, I'd appreciate it. I don't have a huge amount of experience with the groundwork of the linux boot process. After researching the issue, my encrypted drive seems like it also further complicates things. Also, I have secure-boot enabled, if that makes things even worse.
Dell XPS 15 9570

Installed fresh about a week ago, all was well, other than some weird driver issues that would occur when I closed the laptop and reopened it, sometimes forcing me to power cycle it. Today, I went to turn it on, and instead of being prompted to enter my drive encryption password, I get the kubuntu image just sitting there. I hit F2 to check out what was going on and got the following...

It drops me into a busybox shell after failing a number of times.
I looked around at a couple similar issues, and tried to use an ubuntu live USB to check if I could at least see the drive, but
fdisk -l only displays the two partitions /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 of the Live USB.
Any help would be appreciated.
