Bug Description

Installed Ubuntu 16.04.1 fresh. Computer boots fine and lands on GDM. I login and a blank screen appears with a mouse cursor. I can move the mouse all around but I never can get anything to appear on the screen.

Using Intel Sandy Bridge graphics. Installed 12.04 and 14.04 on same laptop. Never had this problem with either of the previous ubuntus.
