["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Bryan Cebuliak, could you please test the latest upstream kernel
available from the very top line at the top of the page from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D (the release
names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily
folder)? Install instructions are available at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds . This will allow
additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where X, Y, and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of
kernel-bug-exists-upstream.

Once testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, please mark this
report's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Kubuntu Wily upgrade screen glitch with  4.2 kernel

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
