Bug Description
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 15.04
Release: 15.04
After upgrading to the kernel version 3.19.0-20-generic I only see a black screen when the login screen should appea.
I can hear the "drum roll" of the login screen, so I guess it's a problem with the graphics driver / display manager.
I'm currently using the NVIDIA binary driver - version 346.59 from nvidia-346-updates (proprietary).
I've already tried every other NVIDIA driver offered in the "Additional Drivers Tab" for "Software and Updates".
Booting with the previous kernel 3.19.0-18-generic works fine.
The machine is a DELL XPS 15 model from 2015.

Same thing happens with the kernel version: 3.19.0-21-generic.
I just tried the 352.21 (nvidia-352) open source without success.
After reboot I'm still greeted with a black screen.
In order to get a working configuration I have too reboot in advanced / trouble-shooting mode where I configure the xserver to run with default settings again.
After another reboot I see the login mask again (login works as well).
