[Bug 1548587] Re: Ubuntu 15.10 VMWare guest won't show UI after upgrading to 4.2.0-30

 

Hi,

I know it's a 15.10/4.2.0 thread, but I have the same problem with 14.04
LTS and 3.16.0-62 kernel in vmware. 3.16.0-60 is the last that worked.
Should I open a new bug report? If yes, what data should I send? But I'm
a Linux noob so be patient :)

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

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.
