Hi, I know it's a 15.10/4.2.0 thread, but I have the same problem with 14.04 LTS and 3.16.0-62 kernel in vmware. 3.16.0-60 is the last that worked. Should I open a new bug report? If yes, what data should I send? But I'm a Linux noob so be patient :)

After installation, I am able to log into the system. I then ran the updater application to install the latest updates. After installing the updates and restarting, the system no longer shows any UI after booting. I am now faced with a black screen and a dash that does not blink. The system also does not respond to any inputs. I was able to get back into my system by holding shift to show the GRUB menu and boot using the 4.2.16 kernel.
