Public bug reported: This seems like the biggest joke ever... only I'm not laughing. Now I know why there's that saying "never touch a running system".
I got my self into a mess by upgrading my dual-boot 14.04 to 16.04. Updated everything then chose to "upgrade". >From the very first start after the upgrade there was no task bar, no bash, >only the desktop... the OS seemed very broken. To search online for help, I clicked on an html file on my system, which started firefox. Roughly one day later I gave up and decided to re-install 16.04 to replace the broken version. Using the live version from a usb. That attempt crashed... that is this report. The sad thing is that this is the type of experience that demonstrates why Ubuntu is still light years behind Apple and Microsoft... Open source is all well and good, but it cannot be that only developers can install and upgrade it. Yours, Alex B.
