- Installation: Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus)
- Upgraded release: Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver)
- No GUI after upgrade machine drops to CLI
- Tried to start X
- Using command: $ startx
- This worked (Not permanent solution)
- Tried to configure lightdm and gdm
- Using command: $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm, $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
- Found that 'gdm' and 'lightdm' was not installed post upgrade and thus CLI was being shown on every boot
- Installed gdm
- Using command: $ sudo apt-get install gdm

Choosing lightdm over gdm
- Installation: Ubuntu 12.04 Precise.
- Default Display Manager installed: lightdm
- Changed Display Manager to: gdm
- Using command: $ sudo apt-get install gdm
- Selected default display manager as 'gdm' when prompted.
- Switch back to: lightdm
- Using command: $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
- Selected option: lightdm
Switched Back to lightdm because:
- PC boots faster.
- Ubuntu loads faster.
- Performance improvement.
