I managed to sort it out ... After a scare. I lock the desktop and I was unable to log back in. Upon rebooting I would only get a text prompt and no network connection after login.
Somehow I managed to get the ethernet up and running. Then with apt upgrade and apt install ubuntu-desktop... I have a flashy new desktop.
I must say ... I was very impressed how the apt command gave me the option to see diffs in some config and policy files in ImageMagick, ssh_config and few others that I had forgotten about. Very impressed with that feature.
