Here's some updated info on the "compiz crash" bug: 1- the "crash" only occurs in amd64 systems (in i386 I am able to successfully dist-upgrade) 2- it is not a "compiz crash". Xserver stops because it receives the SIGKILL signal => compiz, metacity and other wm stop as a consequence of that (https://paste.ubuntu.com/15537883/ <-gdb output) 3- after the crash the kernel hasn't created an initrd => on reboot we get a kernel panic 4- andrea noticed that the bug occurs after a udev restart
my syslog in case that systemd is sending the sigkill: http://pastebin.com/VJLsg8Ce -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1555237 Title: Upgrade from 14.04.4→ 16.04 dies midway taking out the session.
