I think I may have messed a bit too much with different OS.
I have had Windows and Remix OS on my old laptop (Fujitsu Lifebook T730 with wacom touch screen) but wanted to try out Ubuntu because of overheating in windows. I already got touch to work on Remix OS but I wanted to play around a bit and even try to triple boot Window, Ubuntu and Remix OS but first I tried just installing Ubuntu to avoid compatibility problems.
I completely wiped my HDD installed Ubuntu, worked great.
After that I tried installing Windows but this messed up the bootloader because the windows os was not on the first partition (surprise,surprise...I forgot about windows' bootloader thing)
I decided to start from scratch. I formatted my hdd, created 2 partitions, one for windows (installed and working) and another for Ubuntu.
Now when I try to boot Ubuntu from USB it only goes from the accessibility screen to the Ubuntu loading screen, hangs for a bit, does not load the GUI, and then i get this:

I tried again, it displays the same error but without the "unclean filesystem" error, the last line being:
pwconv: failed to change the mode /etc/passwd to 0600
I have no idea what to do, the error just stays there and I am unable to type. If I leave the error, it just turns black with a static (non blinking) text cursor and doesn't boot from USB.
Update: I tried to run boot repair, which booted up fine from USB stick. Here is the log dump:

I have no idea what to do next...Please help?
