See Bug report on Gnome: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777289 "Gnome wayland session freezes on mouse hovering over slider in VLC" Possible Fix (confirmed by one of the gnome devs here??? -> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777428 ) See commit for VLC here: https://git.videolan.org/gitweb.cgi/vlc.git/?a=commit;h=ea9923794767e5e65b0cfb3b9b51a2e593c3d75b (remove X11BypassWindowManagerHint from time tooltip) Please backport it to current stable VLC packaged in Ubuntu ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #777289 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777289 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #777428 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777428 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720901 Title: VLC under Wayland causes system freezes in fullscreen mode Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in vlc package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in vlc package in Debian: Fix Committed Bug description: Ubuntu version: 17.10 (most recent updates as of October 3rd) vlc version: 2.2.6-6 Whan I expect to happen: When playing a video in vlc and switching to fullscreen mode everything should work fine. Also when changing to a different position of a movie in fullscreen I expect the player to just switch to that position. What actually happens: It seems to depend a little on the file type of the video, mostly I get problems when going to fullscreen mode and then switching to a different position with the playback position bar. With some videos it was even enough to just open the fullscreen mode. The video freezes just displaying a frame while the audio keeps playing. The computer does not react any more to mouse or keyboard input, I have to perform a hard reboot. This problem only appears under the Wayland session, in the Xorg session everything works fine as expected. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-09-30 (2 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Alpha amd64 (20170926) Package: vlc 2.2.6-6 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-12.13-generic 4.13.3 Tags: artful wayland-session Uname: Linux 4.13.0-12-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo vboxusers _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1720901/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
