Ubuntu boots to tty instead of desktop after upgrade to 18.10

Question

Today I upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 18.10 and something strange happened.

When I fire up the laptop it automatically enters the tty1 interface. Then I need to enter a command to go to graphical interface. This also happened once on 18.04 but then I pressed Ctrl+Alt+f7 and everything was fine, but it doesn't seem to fix it now.

Any idea why is this happening? I tried some thing from the internet and still the same.

Drivers are same as the one I had on 18.04 and everything is updated but I guess that is not a problem since I can enter graphical interface with a command from tty1. I want it to go directly to graphical interface.

I already tried

sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target

but it's still the same after reboot

This command

sudo systemctl start gdm3.service

starts the graphical interface but only after I type it... it is going back to tty1 again after reboot.

I didn't find a solution. I will just reinstall the system. And before you try to mark my post as a duplicate first read it bcs I said I already tried those things.

I also checked that too.. everything was fine so the problem is not there.. – Mileta Dulovic Jan 03 '19 at 20:34
First it was "quiet splash" and it wasn't working.. then I changed it to empty string " " and still nothing – Mileta Dulovic Jan 03 '19 at 20:40
I already did that and none of them worked..I will reinstall system anyway.. I don't have anything important on it so its not a big deal – Mileta Dulovic Jan 03 '19 at 21:07
Yeah of course. – Mileta Dulovic Jan 03 '19 at 21:14
