problem after this morning's update

Hi all,
I hope somebody could help me solve this situation. I logged in this morning and synaptic's update box popped up with a bunch of software update (including abrowser, kernel etc). After updating & rebooting, the following is broken:
- abrowser doesn't start at all;
- evolution opens up, but then I click on the windown or try to open a message, it immediately crashes;
- the menubar/taskbar shows nothing at all (I have to reboot/shutdown via terminal)
- /boot shows up as a mounted volume my desktop (I'm not sure it showed up before) [btw my disk was encrypted at trisquel's installation]
I tried rebooting with other kernels (3.13.0-137-lowlatency, 3.13.0.141-lowlatency) but all the above problems persist.
Current kernel: 4,4,0-32-generic
Could this be a non-kernel issue? What should I do next?
Thank you!
update: I'm able to run seamonkey; LibreOffice is working fine as well.
another update: tried to open abrowser through terminal, and I got:
(abrowser:6454): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 12:00:27.570: g_object_ref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed
Segmentation fault
Apparently this could be something related to nautilus?

any advice on how I could revert to nautilus previous version?
thanks!

Hmm, I don't know but I would guess the upgrade process messed things up for you. You would have much more info and maybe prevent this in the future if instead of using synaptic you used apt, the terminal in my experience really gives you more info on what's about to happen and the possible issues you may encounter.
I can say only: it's a mess.
If I were you I would backup my data and do a complete reinstall of the OS, which will take you a couple of hours. Or you can try and fix it (which may take days and weeks, good thing is you'll probably learn something in the process).
That's my 2 centavos. Hopefully you'll have better centavos from someone else here, if you are willing to wait and pray :)
