I will preface this saying I'm not new to Ubuntu (using since '15 on the same HP laptop), but I am also not fluent with Ubuntu. I use it as an alternative to the expense of Windows. I'm also not even 50% sure of what version I was currently using when attempting to upgrade (pastebin shows 22.04), and I can only assume that upgrade was to 24.04....I was prompted ~ 09/10/24 to update. I know that's extremely vague, but I'm hoping that along with the pastebin that will provide enough information for suggestion from more experienced users.
Approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of the way through the upgrade, the installation froze. I was unable to launch any applications, however the GUI was still "functional". I waited 24 hours, but the installation remained at the same point. This is where I should've sought advice, but I forced a shutdown/reboot via power button. CL showed multiple daemon service failures for Power Profiles and Thermal. The last messages were:
[FAILED] Failed to start Power Profiles daemon
[ OK ] Stopped Thermal Daemon Service
[FAILED] Failed to start Thermal Daemon Service
[ OK ] Finished GRUB failed boot detection
[ OK ] Finished resolvconf-pull-resolved.service
[ OK ] Finished Secure Boot updates for DB and DBX
After some research here, I acquired another laptop to create a Boot-Repair-Disk and here I am. The suggestion on the documentation was to share the pastebin with the boot issue description for advice here before proceeding with "Recommended Repair". I yield to the community for suggestions. I would obviously like to repair and retain the data on my HD, either completing this installation or reverting to the old version. Thank you.
