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.
