I'm experiencing this same issue. After running Ubuntu Gnome's Software Updater and rebooting this morning, the OS would no longer boot. Holding shift during boot and picking an older kernel (4.2.0-27-generic) allows the OS to boot. Picking 4.2.0-30-generic on boot reproduces the problem again.
As a test, I performed a fresh installation of Ubuntu Gnome 15.10. It booted fine using 4.2.0-16, but after updating to 4.2.0-30-generic again it stopped booting. Using VMware Workstation Pro version 12.1.0 build-3272444 on Windows 7 Enterprise SP 1 64-bit. FWIW, as a workaround, I've used Grub Customizer and chose 4.2.0-27 as my default kernel for now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1548587 Title: Ubuntu 15.10 VMWare guest won't show UI after upgrading to 4.2.0-30 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1548587/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
