Confirmed! I am able to install this kernel and reboot my system correctly into Gnome.
jkrause@ubuntu:~$ uname -a Linux ubuntu 4.2.0-30-generic #35+lp1548587~kamal2 SMP Wed Feb 24 17:26:10 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Versions: 15.10 & 14.04 VMWare Fusion: 8.1.0 (3272237) Mac OS: 10.10.5 However, I am experiencing a new issue now. Upon first reboot, VMWare resized my host OS window to 8000x3200. This happened with both 15.10 and 14.04. 15.10 had the latest Open VM Tools installed and 14.04 had NO version of Open VM Tools or proprietary VMWare Tools. It seems like this kernel build disregarded my previously set resolution. In both cases, I was able to change my resolution back to its correct value and reboot with no issues. -- 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/1548587 Title: Ubuntu 15.10 VMWare guest won't show UI after upgrading to 4.2.0-30 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Wily: In Progress 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.
