I have a very old laptop, an ASUS Eee PC 1005P, that I just wiped clean and reinstalled with Ubuntu. I finished the installation from a boot USB drive, but then after that on first startup, it got stuck at the logo screen. The dots would just run, and then my screen would flash black. It's been like so for 15 minutes now.

Your Asus eee PC 1005P does not meet the minimum system requirements for Ubuntu, as its Atom CPU has a maximam memory capacity of 2 GB. However, there are flavours of Ubuntu which are less demanding, yet will run Ubuntu apps, freely downloadable. In particular, Lubuntu is the least demanding flavour with its LXQt desktop.

I would suggest you make a new LiveUSB installer with Lubuntu, and install Lubuntu on your PC, erasing the old Ubuntu install.
