Public bug reported:

The computer prompted me to report this issue which rose after upgrading
from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04. The computer fails to boot unless via
recovery mode. Error message bash: Cannot create temporary file from
here-document:Read-only file system. Scrolling info includes Failed to
create volatile files and Failed to synchronise time.
