Booting is not happening properly. Either it will display few options like Ubnut, Advance Ubuntu or it is getting hung.

It appears your system is having some disk trouble which may be related:

[ 8.507702] systemd-journald[282]: Received request to flush runtime journal from PID 1
[ 9.786399] systemd-journald[282]: File /var/log/journal/a99c9c8a58fcb89719f7d37e51877f86/system.journal corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing.

Also it sounds like starting some network interfaces is taking a long time:

  A start job is running for Raise network interfaces (31s / 5min 16s)

So please try booting without your USB wifi dongle plugged in. If that doesn't fix the problem then please run this command after a fresh reboot:

  journalctl -b0 > curboot.txt

and attach the file 'curboot.txt'.
