Title:
VLC under Wayland causes system freezes in fullscreen mode
Status in vlc package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in wayland package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Ubuntu version: 17.10 (most recent updates as of October 3rd)
vlc version: 2.2.6-6
Whan I expect to happen: When playing a video in vlc and switching to
fullscreen mode everything should work fine. Also when changing to a
different position of a movie in fullscreen I expect the player to
just switch to that position.
What actually happens: It seems to depend a little on the file type of
the video, mostly I get problems when going to fullscreen mode and
then switching to a different position with the playback position bar.
With some videos it was even enough to just open the fullscreen mode.
The video freezes just displaying a frame while the audio keeps
playing. The computer does not react any more to mouse or keyboard
input, I have to perform a hard reboot.
This problem only appears under the Wayland session, in the Xorg session
everything works fine as expected.
