Dualbooting windows and ubuntu (ubuntu is mostly working) and as in the picture, grub shows up in the boot order list as a bunch of gibberish.

Why is this? Could it hint at something wrong? How can I fix it even if just to make it look nicer?

I did have to restart the installation a bunch. Including once because it failed to create the partition, but the installation completed once that was done.

EDIT: I reinstalled grub and this persists so Im still curious.

I didn't realize at first but in the screenshot it does look like grub is showing up and as null characters(I think), unfortunately not sure why that is

hopefully someone else will have a better answer for you, so I'd recommend to try asking in your distro's community
best of luck!
