This morning I installed Ubuntu Gnome 15.04. I installed a few applications and restarted the computer a couple times without issue. I just ran updates though, and when I restarted the computer after updates were finished, the computer hangs at the splash screen with all three dots filled.
Ctrl+Shift+Num Keys does nothing, same with Ctrl+Alt+Del.
The only thing that works to make the computer do something is pressing the power button. The screen will flash the output text from startup. The last two things I see are:
Starting GNOME Display Manager
gdm.service
The text flashes, then it goes back to the splash screen, no longer frozen, then the computer shuts down. I am able to boot from the linux usb drive that I used to install Ubuntu, but am not sure which logs to look at or how to move forward.
UPDATE: Found the boot.log file these are the last few entries:

If I start in recovery mode, it gives me options for recover, I select continue boot. I receive a message saying that some display manager won't work after recovery boot, that a restart might be necessary. I say continue, then it freezes at a blank screen. I push the power button once, it flashes to a terminal with login prompt and then restarts. I've also tried going into recovery mode and repairing packages with no luck.
