I deleted the swap partition using gparted gui application and after restart my notebook there are this efi shell. Any of common solutions that I tried does not worked for me.
I disabled secure boot and the command fs0: returns an invalid mapping name error.
Anyone know how to get back the Ubuntu working?

If you deleted your swap partition, and then didn't edit your /etc/fstab, that's why you're having the problem. The system is looking for a swap partition that no longer exists.
If you've got Ubuntu 18.xx or newer, fix it this way...
- At the GRUB menu, choose Additional Options, then choose the Recovery Mode
sudo pico /etc/fstab# edit this file- find the line that has the word "swap" in it, and comment it out with a "#"
- save the file and quit the editor
reboot
If you deleted some other partition, like the EFI partition, then you may have to reinstall Ubuntu, or try boot-repair. You can boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB to try and backup your important files to another available disk drive.
Now we need to discuss why you deleted the swap partition, and what your swap options are.
