Not sure if mint is exactly the same, but using "apt-get install
kubuntu-desktop" or kde-base metapackages might be path of least
resistance.
I really wanted mint, especiall debian edition to work out as I almost
loathe ubuntu these days, but sadly it's still more wrecked than ubuntu
for real usage, at least until you replace unity.

I will have to set something up to log onto it, but I think I can do it.
Lacking that KDE, as suggested, may be the second best option.
I will let you know, it will probably take a couple of days.

Here is the current boot, obviously successful:

There's nothing in those logs that makes success/failure obvious to
me though. I took both dmesg logs and did a "grep -2 -i usb" on
them. The USB subsystem messages were almost identical. Both logs
showed that the keyboard was on 3-1 and the mouse was on 3-2, and
that they were both claimed by the usbhid module.
Are these devices plugged in to the machine directly, or are they
connected to a hub? I've had flaky hubs cause this sort of
intermittent problem. Or is this an X11 problem? Can you ssh into
this machine from another box when it's showing the problem, and see
if the mouse is visible with "lsusb" and have a look at
/var/log/Xorg.0.log for keyboard/mouse errors?
