I have literaly no idea on what happened and what are the next steps. I've installed the upgrade to 18.04.1 LTS after restarting computer I found myself in admin (?)/text (? - I even don't know the proper name).
It asks me to log in. Apparently I enter the correct data. Than it shows:
XXX@XXX:~$what should I type? Kind request for 6-year old level answer, my coding understanding is probably even not at that level.
CTRL+D, exit, ~Desktop - did not work. It comes back to login and password request.
Any help will be appreciated.

It sounds like you set the default target on your machine to something other than graphical. Try
sudo systemctl enable graphical.targetand then reboot and see what happens.
2Do you mean you get into text console after boot up? Try to login and type startx - it should get you to graphical environment. Its a temporal solution, if it works.
May be something wrong with greeter, if above runs fine, try reinstall it: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm3
Also do run sudo systemctl enable graphical.target
So, I run all the suggested commands. It (I mean the device) gave me, generally speaking, "all field" response to any try. An hour passed. Partly devastated I looked time at TTY (new word - thanks LeonidMew!) nothing changed. While moving it I accidentally turned off the wi-fi button and than instinctively turned it back on. Some new strange/scary info appeared on my TTY. So, pannic buttons configuration was pressed (CTRL+ALT+DEL) and... IT WARKS AGAIN! I am back in GIU. Thank,I love you guys. You are fantastic!
