Title:
  Rebooted after updates and then this morning : general protection
  fault: 0000 [#26] SMP

Status in linux-lts-utopic package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The first 4 error reports suggested that they were duplicates, so I
  have only raised https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-
  utopic/+bug/1453029 this error report seems to have not done so so I
  have raised a 2nd ticket in case it gets more debug added
  automatically that is of use.

  I noticed a problem last week where my GUI locked up while I was
  trying to unlock it.  At the time I was unable to get the system to
  generate a report or find anything obvious to me in the logs, though I
  am no expert.  I did manage to enable some more analysis tools for
  next time and it seems that next time has just occurred.

  Today I tried to login to the system after rebooting it last night.
  The screen progressed passed the password entry but failed to display
  the desktop background, the side bar or the top bar.   I left it for a
  few minutes while I got a coffee but it was still in the same state
  when I returned.  Thinking it might just be the GUI locked up, as it
  seemed to be last week, I tried to ssh in from another machine.

  tt@tt-ul-dt:~$
  tt@tt-ul-dt:~$
  tt@tt-ul-dt:~$ top
  Segmentation fault
  tt@tt-ul-dt:~$ ps

  As you can see, I managed to SSH in but failed to do much else.  When
  I tried to take a look at what was going on with top I got a message
  about a Segmentation fault.  I then tried ps thinking that might be a
  simpler program and able to show me something.  That seemed to lock up
  the ssh session.

  Next I did a quick Google to see what I might be able to do remotely
  to help debug things.  Nothing helpful presented itself to me so I did
  Ctrl + Alt + F4 to try and get access via one of the other virtual
  terminal things.   I was able to enter my username and password but as
  soon as I had done so I seemed to get some sort of log trace on the
  screen.  It mentioned the USB mouse I had being connected.  I was not
  able to enter any commands so instead I tried unplugging and
  reconnecting the USB memory stick I had.  I could see it registering
  in the trace.  I did the same with a USB temperature probe and could
  see it connect too.

  After that I figured a clean shutdown was about the best I could do.
  I found http://askubuntu.com/questions/53263/shut-down-computer-from-
  keyboard and started the Alt + SysRq + r, e, i, s, u, o.  The first
  two of three keys reported that they were disabled but after that it
  seemed to work.

  After the shutdown, I left the machine till 09:01 and powered it on
  again.  It booted, I logged in and was then presented with several
  "System program problem detected" messages.  I am now trying to work
  through them in the sequence they were presented.
