Please show the contents of /etc/network/interfaces.

Which of the bridges is the one that gets started?

What do you mean here?  Do you mean that other parts of your configuration
assume they're available?  That's entirely reasonable.

Not unless something broke on your upgrade and prevented /var/run from being
migrated to a symlink to /run.  If so, you probably have a broken shutdown
sequence as described in bug #858122.

I don't think this is likely to be the cause in any case, since ifupdown
doesn't use /run to share data with other packages.

  Ubuntu boots, but never shows lightDM login screen. plymouth is showing "Booting system without full network configuration ...". lightDM login will never show. Looking at any of the consoles 1 to 6 you may log in, looking at the network various devices are not configured.
