Ubuntu desktop not loading and only booting to command line

Question

I have been trying to solve this problem on my Ubuntu 18.04 for the past two days.

I boot up my system, and it acts like the server edition of Ubuntu. It launches a full screen command line and that's it.

So far, I have tried reinstalling gdm3 and lightdm. That did not work. I set my privileges on the .Xauthority file to my username, that did not work. I also reinstalled gnome-panel as some people said and that did not work. Finally, I installed lubuntu-desktop, and set LXDM as my default desktop environment. It's still only loading the command line!

What else can I try?

Oops, forgot to add that. I am currently running ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS. — abbas maher, Sep 19 '18 at 05:45
Try this sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target nad reboot — George Udosen, Sep 19 '18 at 06:51
N0rbert, I have tried installing gnome panel and that did not work, still booted me to command line. — abbas maher, Sep 19 '18 at 16:12
George Udosen, that is not working as well. But thanks for the response. — abbas maher, Sep 19 '18 at 16:51

Found a half-solution, so i will answer my own question.

All I did was set default DM to LXDM, and surprisingly, that worked. So I guess I will just have to manage with this.
