I removed the duplicate status of this bug - as the OP's issue does not appear to be related to VMWare. @acutbal can you confirm?
1548587 is a bug related to VMWare - I posted "Me too" on that, but was told (along with others - see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1548587/comments/45) to raise another bug for non-VMWare issue. ( @dirk-porezag you are probably more interested in that bug.) But actually I found that my experience is the same issue as reported here. My experience being... "I also have trouble with the 4.2.0-30 kernel directly on my laptop. - it freezes about 40 seconds after login screen (whether I login or not), I can only work around this by using 4.2.0-27 kernel." Others who seem to have a "non-WMWare issue" from bug 1548587, would you like to confirm? @marwir @amaguran @nicocarbone -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1548867 Title: After upgrading to 4.2.0.30 there's no desktop Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Wily: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, This morning I've updated my Ubuntu 15.10 to kernel 4.2.0.30 and now can't enter to the desktop. In fact, the laptop freezes after grub screen. If start from the recovery, from "upstart" option I get a message like "upstart: broken pipe". And I enter to "recovery mode" options and after resume with the normal start the desktop loads but only with 1024x768 or 800x600 I've have to start with the previous kernel, the 4.2.0.27. Then all works as expected and I log to my desktop as usual.
