After upgrading my Ubuntu desktop from 17.10 to 18.04, everything went smooth until I restarted my PC.

The first suspicious thing I noticed was that it has the same grub with 17.10 - it selected the old grub from the menu (auto-select) and then showed me the boot screen. But afterwards instead of GUI I got terminal access (tty1) only.

How can I fix that? I tried running:

sudo update-grub

but with no luck and the initial grub is still the same. How can I fix this problem?
