after upgrade 18.04 no gui available only tty [closed]

grub2

After upgrading my Ubuntu desktop from 17.10 to 18.04, everything went smooth until I restarted my PC.

The first suspicious thing I noticed was that it has the same grub with 17.10 - it selected the old grub from the menu (auto-select) and then showed me the boot screen. But afterwards instead of GUI I got terminal access (tty1) only.

How can I fix that? I tried running:

sudo update-grub

but with no luck and the initial grub is still the same. How can I fix this problem?

Why Ubuntu Server has no GUI?

Ubuntu Server is a variant of the Ubuntu OS that does not include a graphical user interface (GUI) by default. GUI applications consume system resources needed for server-oriented tasks, so Linux server distributions usually avoid a GUI in favor of the command-line terminal.
