Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: totem
When playing anything (ogg/vorbis, wmv, mpeg, so far) totem is likely to
crash on input. Loading a new file might do it. Resizing the window
might do it. Clicking "pause" might do it. Then again, it might play 20
files successfully before crashing.
It seems to happen independent of format, or even if the media is audio
or video.
The result is that my screen goes black, except for some neon
green/pink/whatever garbage around the corner of where the video window
was. Whole computer will stay in this state, frozen to any input, until
I hard-reboot.
Perhaps worth noting that I also am experiencing the line that runs
across the screen, from the top of the movie square. This line also
occurs in the mozilla-plugin.
I'm on a Toshiba Satellite 1400, with a Trident Microsystems CyberBlade
XPAi1 (rev 82). I've done some reading, and while it looks like the
linux driver for the CyberBlade doesn't yet support 3D, it should be
stable.
I worry about the driver, though -- when I used Xine with a different
set of codecs (on my last ubuntu install on this machine [5.10 I think])
I experienced similar symptoms.
** Affects: totem (Ubuntu)
