Is there anything that I can do to fix this? I've tried to do the factory reset step again and it loads it, but brings me right back the white screen when I hold reset button down. Otherwise I go straight into the load screen and then it black screens again.

Your kernel panic looks like the 4.2 kernel bug I had. The only fix is to use a different kernel-- 4.3 works fine. Or you can revert to 3.19 from Ubuntu 15.04, but it sounds like you're a fresh install so you don't have that option.

So either install 15.04 and then immediately upgrade to 15.10 or focus on getting OpenELEC working. I suggest the latter, unless you're an experienced linux user.

Unless I come across a significant reason to move from dualboot to standalone, then I am good.

I have one question though, when I boot to Openelec (by selecting Ctrl L at the start screen), and Kodi loads... I have been hoping that I would be able to Ctrl-Alt-F2 (toggle) to Chrome. All I get is a black screen.

Is this working as designed, or is there a way to effect the toggle between Kodi and Chrome ?

I haven't tested the dual boot Ubuntu stuff in forever, but as mentioned above it's a known issue with the default kernel shipped with Ubuntu 15.10. You can boot using the 'acpi=off' kernel boot flag and then upgrade the kernel to fix.

i have 2 question:
1) i'm not able to use ArgusTV (with a remote server); i try also mapping unit with file manager and adding the remote source; but plugin still continue to access as a "guest" missing username and password specified in configuration (check also xml file).
I know this because on i check the windows log.
2) there is a way to use netflix streaming with openelec?

Thanks to all

Major version updates (4.x to 5.x, 5.x to 6.x) aren't automatic because there's a non-trivial chance of things not working perfectly after the upgrade. What I recommend is to back up your existing config (via the OE settings addon), do a manual upgrade, and if there's any issues just do a soft reset and rebuild from scratch. See the ChromeBox wiki section on OpenELEC updates for instructions / file download link.
