Similar problems here with the update on 2 laptops. What I did then was
to download an iso, burn a dvd, backed up my files to external HDD and
did a fresh install of version 16.04.1 on both laptops. So far
everything is running well with no problems. Installed on a third laptop
without any problems. That proves to me the update version is seriously
flawed and should be avoided. Like you I am a long time user of Ubuntu
Studio and have never had these type problems with an update. Hope this
helps.T

This doesn't mean much to me---all I know is that when I clicked the
"upgrade" button when I was notified of the newer 16.04 version that was
available, it didn't finish installing and kept asking me for passwords
before anything would boot as such. I entered my user and root
passwords and kept getting the message saying it was the wrong password.
Have finally bought a new hard drive and taken it to a Tech to hopefully
get running again but likely have lost all my files. Previous years I
had upgraded from version 11, 12, and to 14 with no problems---it needs
to be made more foolproof somehow. Been running Ubuntu for at least 5
yrs and like it--------
