Public bug reported: Totem simply does not operate on 12.04 (fully updated) using Gnome 3.4.2 desktop with nVidia 304.88 and dual monitors on a GT-9600 card.
a) If run normally to play a video the screen flashes, the second monitor is DISABLED, and the desktop locks-up. b) If run automatically in a Firefox when a page is hit the desktop locks-up. The only solution when this happens us to hard-reset the computer and suffer the long disk checks on reboot. It used to work - but has behaved like this for months. I'm tired of the accidental crashes while in Firefox when I happen to hit a page with Totem-mapped media and have uninstalled it. ** Affects: totem (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to totem in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1228633 Title: Totem crashes Gnome desktop Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Totem simply does not operate on 12.04 (fully updated) using Gnome 3.4.2 desktop with nVidia 304.88 and dual monitors on a GT-9600 card. a) If run normally to play a video the screen flashes, the second monitor is DISABLED, and the desktop locks-up. b) If run automatically in a Firefox when a page is hit the desktop locks-up.
