Title:
  Upgrade from 14.04.4→ 16.04 dies midway taking out the session.

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  STEPS:
  1. Install 14.04.4 on a uefi securebooted system
  2. update it
  3. Install openssh-server for debug access
  4. reboot
  5. Hit alt+f2
  6. Type update-manager -d and hit enter

  EXPECTED:
  I expected a smooth transition to 16.04

  ACTUAL:
  System is completely taken out mid way through the process killing the session and x also no tty when hitting ctrl+alt+f1-6

  TESTS RESULTS (from cyphermox):

  On amd64 (no EFI) under qemu/libvirt, qxl graphics:
  - upgrading just libglib2.0-0 from 16.04 on top of 14.04.4: PASS
  - upgrading ubuntu-desktop (running gnome-shell) 14.04.4 to 16.04: PASS
  - upgrading ubuntu-desktop (running xubuntu-session) 14.04.4 to 16.04: PASS
  - manually upgrading compiz and other packages to 16.04 versions; after adding xenial sources:
    - compiz and related packages (http://paste.ubuntu.com/15415280/) : PASS
    - xserver-xorg and related: PASS
    - unity and related: PASS
    - ubuntu-desktop: PASS
    - libgl1-mesa-dri: PASS
    - apt-get dist-upgrade: FAIL (screensaver may have kicked in)
  - standard upgrading 14.04.4 to 16.04; screensaver disabled: FAIL (looked fine, but upgrade eventually froze, might well be a different issue)
  - re-enabling screensaver after upgrade, before reboot: TODO (above failed)

  On ppc64el:
  - upgrading ubuntu-server 14.04.4 -> 16.04: PASS
