I also experienced a crash while performing a routine update and was thrown out of the desktop. I saw an error relating to canonical-livepatch which is installed but not enabled.
I switched to vt4 and rebooted with the command "sudo reboot now". In my case everything appears to be working normally including the ability to report bugs.
My /var/crash/ directory shows that files relating to gnome-shell, seahorse and cups-browsed were automatically uploaded at the time I experienced the crash. The times match entries found in /var/log/apt/history.log so the crash *was* related to the update process.
I'm not sure if this helps anyone trace the source of the problem but I thought I should respond as this is the first instance I have seen of such a crash since I began using Ubuntu in 2010.
Alexandru, I'm confirming the bug on the basis that *we* saw a similar crash while updating but not for the problems that you experienced afterwards.
