[Bug 1548985] Re: After linux kernel update system won't boot

 

*** Update

I was able to reproduce this issue in a fresh provisioning from the
Kubuntu 15.10 ISO, although the boot log now stops at

[OK] Started Accounts Service

(See screen shot).

Steps to reproduce:

1) Create a new VM (VMWare Fusion 8.1.0, although I doubt this matters) 4 cpu cores, 8GB Ram, 60GB disk
2) Install Kubuntu 15.10 from ISO (x64)
3) Install open-vm-tools

    sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools
    sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop

5) Restart
6) Upgrade distribution

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade

7) Restart. Machine wont complete the boot process, resulting in a black
screen
