Sorry,  Christopher, the   BIOS    update   made   no   difference.  After
 a   few   seconds  to  a  minute  or  two the  graphics  are  covered
with   horizontal  lines obscuring  the  screen  same  as  the  other
 bloke's  screen  shot.  I   think  navigating   the   LXDE   menu   seems
  to   trigger   the   behaviour, or  not.  The   GUI   eventually   may
 crash   to  a   black  screen.  Only  resort    is   to  ctrl-alt-F[x]
switch   to  a  command  line  interface terminal.

Something   weird  about  the   new   Ubuntu   kernels   which  is  not  in
  the   new   Debian  Sid    4.2  or  the  previous  3.19 Ubuntu  kernel..

Title:
  Kubuntu Wily upgrade screen glitch with  4.2 kernel

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On  recent  update   from  15.04   to  15.10, the new  4.2  kernel  is  associated   with    graphics  instability after  a  few  seconds of   GUI  use   with  mouse   and   keyboard making  the  GUI  unusable.  See  another  person's  same  experience   with  intel   graphics   here:  
  askubuntu.com/questions/688649/kubuntu-wily-upgrade-screen-glitch

  Downgrading  to the  last   15.04    kernel   solves  my  issue.
   
  See  result  of   ubuntu-bug linux   from  the  terminal attached.
