I version-upgraded Ubuntu 15.04 in place to Ubuntu 15.10 on an HP workstation
with a Intel Core i7 and 16GB RAM. The HDD was previously in a different
computer, and I have seen issues with the settings from the old machine
fighting with the settings for current OS version. The behaviour is as follows:
When I log in with the 4.2.x kernel, the machine changes to a blank screen
pauses for a moment and returns me to the login splash screen.
I can log in normally if I use the 3.19.0-32-generic kernel.
I can also change to TTY1 and log in at the command line with the 4.2.x kernel.
