Thank you for your comments. Since I see in in Bionic's packages that vanilla-gnome-desktop will remain I am happy because I love to have both the Application Menu and the Activities Overview :)

Hi,

my system seems to be ok, yet Boot-Repair tells me, I have Grub on the extended partition, and

Do you remember what could go wrong?
