when I restart I get a black screen then a gray screen with a 219 heading and a screen full of entries with ok after some of them and then the gnome login. also after doing a dist upgrade the id in the settings details shows that it has reverted to 14.10 but is still 15.04 i'm confused.

219 is your systemd version.

% apt-cache policy systemd
systemd:
  Installed: 219-7ubuntu6
  Candidate: 219-7ubuntu6
  Version table:
 *** 219-7ubuntu6 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     219-7ubuntu3 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages

systemd is one of the first things which are activated at startup.

systemd is a system and service manager for Linux. It provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using Linux control groups, supports snapshotting and restoring of the system state, maintains mount and automount points and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic.

This is absolutely normal if the splash and/or quiet kernel parameters are removed...
