I'm working on the premise that everyone here is running Ubuntu as a
VMWare guest (if that's not the case, please speak up).

Thanks David Poole and RP for confirming that the problem first appeared
in the -ckt2 kernel.  I'd like to have you try -ckt4 also (it contains
additional vmware-graphics fixes):

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2.8-ckt4-wily/

We'll continue researching other possible solutions in parallel in case
-ckt4 doesn't help.

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

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in linux source package in Wily:
  In Progress

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.
