18.04 only works in recovery mode

I upgraded from 17.10 to 18.04 following the prompts and instructions from Software Updater. Everything went smoothly.
I could see the background image had changed form the Aadvark to the Beaver, and got the "restart" message.
When I hit restart, the familiar Ubuntu purple background and white / red dots appeared but then, instead of opening the OS, I got a page with lots of scrolling text, and eventually it froze.
tried rebooting several times: same result. So i went for recovery mode, and it opened ok, but it ìs obviously only recovery mode and I can't get the real thing to work.
Any ideas? Thanks!

go to recovery mode, open a terminal and run command:sudo grep -Pi "(critical|err|fail|fatal)" /var/log/syslog /var/log/syslog.1 /var/log/boot.log. Add the output to your question (as text).

The trouble is the output is absolutely MASSIVE. Can't paste it here. How about a word document, can I send / attach that?
