OK, I think I may be onto something. The only thing that comes close to
the error message are problems with  wireless.

Before I go further, vlc is crashing on startup because ir support is
now enabled.


http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=1258711 makes mention of Atheros issues "est incompatible avec un grand nombre de config et particulièrement avec les cartes Atheros". So I looked for an Atheros module with:

lsmod | grep ath

ath5k                 134963  0 
ath                    19187  1 ath5k
mac80211              513247  1 ath5k
cfg80211              401436  3 ath,ath5k,mac80211

After sudo rmmod ath5k I can open and run vlc (and Totem).

Having done all that, I can again invoke a kernel panic by using the
remote, namely with the up button, but at least it's manageable, at
least as long you don't use the ir remote.

According to Cara-bump on the thread quoted, Atheros issues started with
kernel 3.8 or so.

Title:
  Kernel Panic --not syncing fatal exception in interrupt

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using the infrared remote control results in a kernel panic. This is
  reproducible using mplayer.

  apt-cache policy mplayer
  mplayer:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 2:1.0~rc4.dfsg1+svn34540-1ubuntu4
    Version table:
       2:1.0~rc4.dfsg1+svn34540-1ubuntu4 0
          500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/universe i386 Packages
       2:1.0~rc4.dfsg1+svn34540-1ubuntu2 0
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) I expect to use the infrared remote successfully, without resulting in a kernel panic.
  4) Audio loops like a scratched record, computer hard locks so that the keyboard becomes entirely unresponsive: no escaping to a tty, keyboard capslock doesn't light up, screen goes to tty1 and outputs "Kernel Panic --not syncing fatal exception in interrupt", and SysRq-cntrl-alt-r does not reboot the computer.
