I am still getting the issue on 12.04 LTS. I have tried to use the command "ubuntu-bug xorg" through an ssh connection just after I had reproduced the problem. The output follows. Some rows are translated by me from italian.
*** Gathering informations about the problem [...] this could take a few minutes (*translation by me*) ........................................................................................................................................ *** 'precise' is no longer under development, but technical support is still available and will give you quicker results than filing a bug here. Also, if you do have a bug, we will give it higher priority if you've gone through technical support channels first. Scelte: 1: I don't know what to do 2: Continue. I already know of a patch to fix this problem. 3: Continue. Yes, I have discussed this with technical support. 4: Continue. I don't need technical support. 5: Please point me to where I can get technical support. N: Annulla Scegliere (1/2/3/4/5/N): 1 If I choose "1": *** http://www.ubuntu.com/support/ is the best place to get free help with technical issues. Next, if I choose "4": *** Problem in xorg Cannot report the problem (*translation by me*) Please work this issue through technical support channels first. No crash report pending. Try --help for further information. (*my translation*) ...and then it returns to the command prompt. I didn't choose any other options because they all seems to me not concerning my problem So, I don't know exactly what to do or where I am wrong. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to eog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877279 Title: EOG - Image viewer hangs system when opening large image file Status in “eog” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Since upgrade to 11.10, opening large jpg image files causes system to hang.
