Comment 89 for bug 1359689

I faced the same issue using xubuntu 16.04 (clean installation) after I installed NVIDIA binary driver - version 340.96 from nvidia-340 (proprietary-tested) instead of X.Org X server - Nouveau (under which no issue appeared). NVidia driver is more stable so I have to hold it. I edited /etc/default/grub to have a fully text boot instead of plymouth boot but I still want to be advised if there is any solution for this issue.
Under Xubuntu 14.04 no issue appeared.
