I fixed this by rebooting. At the login screen, I switched to a terminal ctrl+alt+F1 and then running sudo apt-get upgrade. That would not run, but I was told to use sudo dpkg --configure -a. After I ran sudo dpkg --configure -a, then I ran sudo apt-get upgrade. Lastly, I ran reboot. This solved the problem.
I solved the problem by logging in ( Ctrl+Alt+F2 ) and then upgrading, via sudo apt-get upgrade.
I would assume that some of the files somehow got corrupted previously because of some incomplete update or something similar, and upgrading it properly makes everything work as it should.
