This sounds like a problem I had. If it is, the Journal application is
NOT seen in the circle while your desired activity is showing "starting".

I had to reinstall the system from a USB key as you are suggesting may
be your next step.

This is the process I used: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Stable_Upgrade

It is actually easy to do.

If you see the Journal application in the circle, your problem is
probably something else.
