The problem is that when I log in, the desktop appears, everything appears normally, but I can't click on anything. While I am at the login screen, I can click and write my password, but after that I can't do anything else except moving the mouse. Ubuntu 18.04.

Found an post in that anyone said it might be problem with xorg and this as solution:

apt install xserver-xorg-input-all

Tried it, didn't help. I'm not sure if it even installed anything.

If it's important, last time that it worked was yesterday while I was trying to install some extensions.

blkid

cat /etc/fstab

dpkg -l *nvidia*

You've got a problem with your swap partition.

Screenshots or images make it a little difficult to give a 100% complete answer, but I'll give you the basics and that should be enough.

The /etc/fstab has a line where it tried to mount swap. It fails because the UUID that ends in c932 is incorrect. We have to edit /etc/fstab and replace that incorrect UUID, with the UUID that we see in the sudo blkid command... using the /dev/sdb1 UUID that ends in 18cf.

Boot to recovery mode and enter this command(s):

sudo mount -o rw,remount / # assure the disk is r/w

sudo blkid | grep sdb1 # show us the correct UUID

copy this UUID to the clipboard

sudo pico /etc/fstab # edit fstab

replace the bad UUID on the swap line, with edit/paste

control+o and return to save the edit

control+x to exit the editor

reboot # reboot the computer
