(Get the code!)
I have a very similar problem on my Laptop running Xubuntu too.
So no VMWare. Just normal Xubuntu running directly on the laptop.
After updating to kernel 4.2.0.30, my laptop would still start to the login screen.
Everything seemed to be working fine on the login screen.
Even remote access via ssh was still possible.
But almost everything you can try to do on the login screen freezes the system.
Trying to login. -> Freezes as soon as the login screen has disappeared.
Trying to reboot. -> Freezes
Trying to switch to tty1 -> Freezes
Trying to reboot by typing "reboot" on an ssh-shell -> Logs me out from the shell and freezes the system.
At first I had suspected the graphics drivers as I have the oibaf-ppa with current mesa-drivers installed.
But selecting kernel 4.2.0.27 from grub solved the problem for me.
