If you are using 8.04 the method is to do one of the below: - Disable Visual effects via 'System -> Appearance -> Visual Effects' - Remove compiz packages completely - Disable 'Xv' via 'System -> Multimedia Systems Selector -> Video' and change the 'Default Output' to 'X Window System (No Xv)'
On newer versions of Ubuntu this issue should be fixed. -- Ubuntu Hardy X freezes while playing content in totem or vlc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/233896 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
