Could someone confirm if this is a duplicate of bug nr. 1508157

I have the exact same issue and precondition to my knowledge.

I too had nvidia propiertary drivers installed:
nvidia-settings -q NvidiaDriverVersion

  Attribute 'NvidiaDriverVersion' (ubu1504desk:0.0): 352.41
  Attribute 'NvidiaDriverVersion' (ubu1504desk:0[gpu:0]): 352.41

Upgrading from Vivid -> Wily the package linux-image-generic seem to get uninstalled. I end up with a kernel beeing the same as the one I had just before the upgrade ("ingen" is danish for "none" - should have changed the language):

apt-cache policy linux-image-generic
linux-image-generic:
  Installeret: (ingen)
  Kandidat: 4.2.0.16.18
  Versionstabel:
     4.2.0.16.18 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily/main amd64 Packages

cat /etc/issue && uname -a
Ubuntu 15.10 \n \l

Linux ubu1504desk 3.19.0-21-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Sun Jun 14 18:31:11 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have to add that when I ran ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core to report this bug I had installed the package linux-image-generic in the meantime. So you will see that I'm on that kernel now, but I had to install it manually.
