Oh, also your kernel is stuck in recovery mode:

  [ 136.650] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-39-generic root=UUID=8a9d54df-bf77-4277-990d-781804a2250b ro recovery nomodeset

which will cause graphics problems.

To fix that, reboot and then hit Esc as soon as the purple screen appears. Now navigate the menus and choose a regular kernel that does not have the recovery option.
