[Bug 1571939] Re: Ubuntu GNOME fails to boot after Trusty -> Xenial upgrade

[Erick Brunzell]

I just tested Ubuntu GNOME Trusty w/Vivid HWE -> Xenial again and it
"calculated" the upgrade and seemed to complete successfully but fails
to boot afterwards similar to this. I did notice though that on ubuntu-
release the upgrade of xorg-lts-transitional resulted in a lot of
component mismatches. So, long story short, Trusty -> Xenial upgrades
still seem to be broken if Trusty is running anything other than the
original Trusty HWE.

Title:
  Ubuntu GNOME fails to boot after Trusty -> Xenial upgrade

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Not sure what's gone wrong. After what appeared to be successful
  completion of the release upgrade I'm unable to boot. In recovery mode
  it seems that networking can't be enabled and I get an error about no
  resolv.conf. When trying to boot either the new kernel or the older
  Trusty (Wily HWE) kernel the screen fills rapidly with errors about
  UID 1000 followed by a screen with only a blinking tty1 login, but
  I've never been able to get it to accept my login. I did copy the
  dist-upgrade logs so I'll attach them.
