I have the same problem with Compiz! I have Ubuntu 8.04, but only a week ago I updated all the few hundred packages that needed updating using the automatic updating tool. I got this error message in bash:
"Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 141 (XVideo) Minor opcode of failed request: 19 () Serial number of failed request: 87 Current serial number in output stream: 88" With Compiz enabled I couldnt watch any videos with VLC nor Totem. Now after having turned Compiz off it works just fine again. Do you need more info? -- Totem and VLC crash when doing just about anything with visual effects enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249222 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
