This bug is also present in 11.10 with Intel GMA915 graphics on a Dell Inspiron 9400 (E1705) and a HP Probook 4525s with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 with proprietary drivers. I'd say this bug is with Totem, and only Totem messing up the settings. Both Dell and HP are fresh installs though updated (just update, not release-update), and it's not always there after an install, but might show up again after an update. And as can be evidenced by how far back in time this bug goes, I'd say it's about time someone checked out Totem.
This bug isn't consistent for chipset-maker, chipset or even on the same machine. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. But the fix is always to turn the hue in Totem down to minimum. The only program EVER to not be affected by this bug is Totem. It doesn't even respond to the hue- slider at all. No matter if it's at absolute minimum, absolute maximum or anywhere in between, the colors WILL NOT CHANGE in Totem. -- 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/424864 Title: Video colors appear inverted Status in Totem Movie Player: Unknown Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When playing any video, with Totem, mplayer or VLC with the non-free NVidia driver installed, it appears that the blue and red channels are swapped so the colours look messed up.. It's the 180 driver that was loaded, and switching back to the free driver resolves the issue. The normal desktop, X and Compiz work fine... the problem is only with video playback. james@hardline:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch) Release: 9.10 james@hardline:~$ date Sat Sep 5 16:03:58 BST 2009 james@hardline:~$ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/totem/+bug/424864/+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
