I'd like to perform a kernel bisect to figure out which commit caused this regression. We need to identify the earliest kernel that did not exhibit the bug and the first kernel that did exhibit the bug.
Can you test the following kernels and post back? http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2.8-ckt1-wily/ http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2.8-ckt2-wily/ http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2.8-ckt3-wily/ You don't have to test every kernel, just up until the first kernel that has this bug.

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.
