As well as you providing helpful information to the developers about how
you have reproduced a bug if you can find one that is similar there are
often suggestions in the comments of bugs (or answers) which may give me
a clue as to what is going on with your problem, and how to fix it, even
if they don't sound that helpful to you.

So if you just turn on the PC it normally boots straight to the login
screen, you only see grub if you hold down shift whilst powering up?
