Hey Daniel, I'm honestly not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here's precisely what I'm doing. Tell me where I'm messing up:
First, I booted into recovery mode by hitting Esc on bootup, and selecting boot into recovery mode. The computer then boots, and reaches a point at which it I have multiple options, the first one being continue into a regular boot, and a then there are a few others, like "drop into root." In the previous email, with the previous file, after booting into recovery mode, I then selected "continue regular boot" and then I edited the /etc/gdm3/custom.conf to enable debugging. I then rebooted and reproduced the hang. I then rebooted into recovery mode, and then continued booting into normal mode. I then sent the files, were were apparently wrong. Here are two more files. Since /etc/gdm3/custom.conf already had debugging enabled, I did not reboot the computer into recovery mode. I simply rebooted the machine, let it boot as normal and hang while loading as it usually does. I then rebooted the machine, tapped Esc, and selected "boot into recovery mode." It paused after booting for a few seconds, and gave me a few options. This time, I chose "drop into root" and ran the command "journalctl -b-1 > prev_boot.txt" but I'm not sure where it saved. I then selected for the computer to boot as normal, out of recovery mode. When I entered Ubuntu, I ran two commands, "journalctl -b-1 > prev_boot.txt" and attached it here. I also ran "journalctl -b >prev_boot2.txt." Between the two boot records, I hope one is correct. Prev_boot.txt is extremely large again for some reason, and in the logs, it says the boot sequence started on 1/11/19, which is absurd. What's going on with that? Strangely, prev_boot2.txt is much smaller but also states that the boot sequence took over a week. Sorry for the lengthy email. Where am I messing up on recording the boot?
