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.
