Have you downloaded some time ago ubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso
with default Unity desktop?
Yes, ubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso
Then you upgraded it to 18.04 LTS, right? But Unity was missed, is not it?
Yes, then I upgraded to 18.04 LTS, which doesn't have Unity. I actually installed Unity but it was too buggy so I installed MATE (using apt install ubuntu-mate-core ubuntu-mate-desktop
as suggested in wiki.mate-desktop.org/download#ubuntu) and uninstalled Unity (apt remove
, I believe).
