I am slightly confused by the instructions.

>test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page 
>lease do not test the daily folder

The page linked https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds redirects
to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds?action=show&redirect=KernelMainlineBuilds
and currently reads: "We currently build five sets of upstream kernels.
All formal tags from Linus' tree and from the stable trees, plus:

1) the daily tip of Linus' linux kernel source tree,
2) the tip of the drm-next head of Dave Airlie's linux repository daily,
3) the tip of the drm-intel-next head of Keith Packard's linux repository daily until 2012, after which it has been taken over by Daniel Vetter at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel/, and in particular, the drm-intel-next branch,
4) the tip of the master branch of the debloat-testing tree daily,
5) tags from the combined v2.6.32.x.y tree (by StefanBader) which is v2.6.32.x with DRM from 2.6.33.y."

So should I be using the Daily Tip of Linus's Linux kernel source tree
or not?


Do you actually want me to go to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds?action=show&redirect=KernelMainlineBuilds#Installing_upstream_kernels which includes a link to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14.4-utopic/ where it seems I can cut out some of the URL to get http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ which does include a "daily folder" for me to avoid.  

I am on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (Trusty Tahr, and the latest build for that
seems to be http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/v3.15-rc2-trusty/ so should I download the relevant files
from there and start on the install instructions?

Title:
  Tried to login, GUI locked up.  Did reboot & was presented with
  several messages : general protection fault: 0000 [#31] SMP

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Today I tried to login to the system. 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. 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 and the ssh session locked up.

  I was able to enter my username and password at a vt 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.
