The interesting thing to notice here is that if I don't let the
screensaver come up doing a manual upgrade (because I'm watching it
more), it seems like compiz doesn't crash. It needs more testing, but it
looks like the only reason the upgrade failed was because the
screensaver kicked in.

** Description changed:

  STEPS:
  1. Install 14.04.4 on a uefi securebooted system
  2. update it
  3. Install openssh-server for debug access
  4. reboot
  5. Hit alt+f2
  6. Type update-manager -d and hit enter
  
  EXPECTED:
  I expected a smooth transition to 16.04
  
  ACTUAL:
  System is completely taken out mid way through the process killing the session and x also no tty when hitting ctrl+alt+f1-6
