Unfortunately, this bug report only shows the VLC output. To further isolate the problem, some more tests can be done, notably:
1/ Try to use VLC with a different video output method, especially the plain X11 output. # vlc -V x11 If that works fine, then it's most certainly a bug in the XVideo driver. 2/ Try to playback without the VLC user interface: # vlc -I dummy MyMovie.mkv If that works fine, then it means the user interface is triggering the crash. This is unlikely to be caused by Xorg itself, but could be a problem with the desktop environment or the window manager. In any case, you should provide the Xsession log. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- X crashes on VLC open file dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663526 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
