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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1453543 Title: totem player crashes kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1453543/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
