I used to use the official supported LTS Ubuntu Trusty 3.13 kernel line. With current updates. I didn't noticed which subversion started to affect kernel panic after Totem player. May be several months.
I tried to stress several times some kernels by Totem Player (play, seek, switch playlist...): "4.1.0-040100rc4-generic" OK, never crashed. "3.16.0-pf4" my own customized with some patches. OK, never crashed. "3.16.0-37-generic" Utopic actual supported by Trusty. KERNEL PANIC. "3.13.0-52-generic" Trusty actual. KERNEL PANIC. "3.16.0-rc3-vanilla" KERNEL PANIC. A week of testing my own custom build 3.16. Kernel panic never occurred yet. ** Tags added: kernel-fixed-upstream -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1453543 Title: totem player crashes kernel Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Very often Totem player crashes and results a black screen kernel panic.
