I’m new to this Linux stuff first time switching. It took me almost 48 hours to download everything properly to my USB, loads of reinstalling and watching tons of confusing guides. I manage to finally make the USB to boot to something but it just gets stuck on this screen. I’m able to access recovery from the Ubuntu select screen, I tried the dpkg thing and the others listed but nothing fixed the issue. I seen people say it might have to do with graphics or something? I have AMD integrated graphics on my pc. I get the Ubuntu loading screen then it goes to the image I posted.

Some text appeared underneath after like 10 minutes, I think I might have to wait it out? – ambien Oct 22 '18 at 02:46

1I had the exact same issue on my computer after upgrading from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to Ubuntu 18.10. I have an Nvidia GTX 1070, and I had the Nvidia drivers installed when I did the upgrade. I would recommend downloading the LTS version of Ubuntu, especially if you're new. The LTS release is usually much more stable and has fewer problems like this. – SuperSluether Oct 22 '18 at 02:59

You may have a problem with an older computer, with an older GPU. Try this...
- boot to recovery mode
- choose root access
type:
sudo mount -o remount,rw / # to remount the disk r/w
sudo pico /etc/gdm3/custom.conf # edit this file
change:
#WaylandEnable=false
to:
WaylandEnable=false
Then reboot.
