I had the same issue when upgrading from 16.04.5 to 18.04.1 LTS on a Intel NUC NUC8i3BEH model.
I used the fix that yaroslav used and it works also in my case: ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1769137 Title: after 17.10->18.4 upgrade, the system did not start due to missing libGL.so.1 and libGLESv2.so.2 files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1769137/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
