I sent patches to the upstream upower bug that improve the behaviour
when connecting to upowerd on D-Bus fails. However, libupower already
behaved in the current way forever, so this is nothing new in Xenial.
Thus the patches will also only help so far: they should avoid the
segfault, but you'll still get invalid data presented in the UI as the
client/the library never reconnects to upowerd.
The root cause here is that upowerd takes very long to start as it gets
blocked reading some kernel attributes. This needs to be fixed in the
kernel to truly solve this bug.

Ubuntu 16.04 crashes immediately on login. Default settings not
applied and appearance is a bit ugly (incorrect font hinting, in-
window menus etc).
