error resolution

Kubuntu 15.10
Each program I open out black screen 3-4 seconds. The ruling was when I wanted to change resolution of 1024x768 to 1440x900 which is what has NVIDIA settings.
    Xorg.conf and add part of the kcrash attached file. 
      Saludos           Carlos.

From 12.04 kubuntu install any other version is a problem.
I will not let it go install lines across the screen and other images
misshapen.
  Active "nomodesetting" and included an xorg.conf from another system (linuxmint 13 Maya
this all goes well if not version-equal increase in kubuntu)

  So I get install k15.10 but has 640x480 resolution with nouveau.

NVIDIA driver install advised by systemsetting and NVIDIA settings, with
xorg.conf amended as indicated in my data and attached to you
above it the 1440x900 resolution (according to manufacturer ASUS) but
Systemsetting has 1024x768.

    By the instructions of the monitor, when you have (black screen) it is due to lack of signal
returning this to 2-3 seconds.
    With another monitor (LG) was the same.

In my opinion, the problems began when they changed the graphics control to the kernel.

             greetings Carlos

Please test with Plasma 5.8 once it's out, or Neon Git unstable if you're impatient.

Thanks!
