I have a related problem in 15.10 *and* 16.04, but only on my desktop
systems, not my laptop. After giving my fulldisk encryption password,
the screen blanks while the OS loads, then the Ubuntu logo comes up, and
then the wallpaper and login prompt appears -- for a second, then
vanishes and the screen goes blank. But it's actually still there,
because I can type my username and password, and it reappears and I'm
logged in as normal.

Not a dealbreaker for me, but I can see it unnerving a newcomer.
