After some testing, I noticed that it installs and updates to 4.2.0-30
and works correctly in VirtualBox 5.0.14 with the VirtualBox extensions
installed.

I am now suspecting that the issue is due to some conflict with the
VMWare tools.

** Summary changed:

- Ubuntu 15.10 VM won't show UI after upgrading to 4.2.0-30
+ Ubuntu 15.10 VMWare guest won't show UI after upgrading to 4.2.0-30

Title:
  Ubuntu 15.10 VMWare guest won't show UI after upgrading to 4.2.0-30

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit as a guest VM in
  VMWare Workstation 12.1.0.

  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.
