Ubuntu 10.10 same problem. I get "pa_stream_cork() failed: Connection terminated" and "pa_stream_writable_size() failed: Connection terminated" when I try to play DVDs with Totem Movie Player 2.32.0 (GStreamer 0.10.30) and every few songs in Rhythmbox 0.13.1 I get the pa_stream_writable_size() one.
Neither of elleP's quick fixes work for me I am a bit of a newcomer to linux, but I did my best to install David Henningson's package, by typing sudo add-apt-repository ppa:diwic/fighting-rewinds sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and then logging out/in, and to no avail. Now, since that didn't work, if I simply remove that repository, will I be able to receive regular upgrades to the packages replaced in the future? or will I have to do something else for that? BTW, VLC seems to work for me, I haven't tried any other media players. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496616 Title: Mediaplayer crashed with "pa_stream_writable_size() failed: Connection terminated" -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
