Installing vdpau-va-driver is only a workaround, and also one that we do not wish to include in normal Ubuntu because it is known to be buggy and cause performance problems for some GPUs. This bug remains a valid bug for the case where vdpau-va-driver is not installed. As such bug 1727232 may very well be related. If you are happy with the workaround of installing vdpau-va-driver and do not wish to pursue this bug further then it will expire automatically after 60 days. No further investigation required. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to totem in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1757301 Title: Brightness, contrast issues (possibly NVidia specific) in totem and VLC Status in totem package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in vlc package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This issue pertains to a fresh install of Ubuntu 17.10 on a Dell Precision 5520 with NVidia 384.111-0ubuntu0.17.10.1 drivers installed.
