I'm also having the same problem. It happens with Totem, VLC, and MPlayer. It doesn't matter if I play audio or video, the system hangs as soon as the program is opened. The mouse cursor still moves, but the system is otherwise unresponsive, even to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.
This used to happen only once in a while, but now happens consistently every time since the latest xorg update. I haven't seen it hang if I disable compiz, so maybe it's an issue with that? I use the intel (945GM) drivers. -- When playing videos (avi/mpeg/etc) media player crashes and freezes system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235522 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
