Public bug reported:

* I did a do-release-upgrade -d
* After the upgrade was done, I rebooted

Result:

My computer was stuck in a boot loop, showing alternatively a black
screen, a text log and a set of random pixels.

Here is a GIF of the loop: https://imgur.com/zGGTzma

As I had to make my computer work again I had to reinstal Ubuntu from a
18.04 live USB stick, so I'm not sure if I could get information from
the previous installation. Reinstalling made my computer work fine with
18.04. I just need to reinstall all my applications.

I had an external Mesa installation on 17.10 from Padoka Stable PPA. May
it be related? At the moment, Mesa version from Padoka Stable is
18.0.0~*~padoka0, whereas after a 18.04 reinstall it is 18.0.0-rc5

Note: I tried to boot in safe mode with graphics, but it does not start, I get 
this error in the console:
/usr/share/xdiagnose/failsafeXinit: line 194 : [: == : unary operator expected
