My ideapad y520 was running Ubuntu 17.04 and recently I updated it to 18.04 from command line. However, I'm not able to boot into any desktop environment in Xorg mode. Only Wayland is working. Has anyone faced similar issue?

Upgrading from 17.04 to 18.04 LTS is not likely to succeed. It is probably difficult to fix the problems. Try live, when booted from a USB pendrive made from an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS iso file. If it works well, please save your personal files to another drive and after that [maybe convert your original partition from the old 17.04 to a home partition and] make a fresh installation of 18.04 LTS. – sudodus Apr 28 '18 at 22:22

I had to uncomment 'WaylandEnable=false' in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf to be able to boot up. It worked, but I'd like to find a better fix for the situation. Booting up with 'WaylandEnable=false' commented out I would get stuck at gdm.servicegdm.service.
I hope this helps someone, I looked for this for a couple weeks.

I was having graphical glitches upon login in gdm3 on a MacBookPro12,1 running 18.04 with Xorg. Un-commenting the line above made this glitch go away. – Chris May 24 '18 at 02:22
