Title:
Totem’s interface unable to launch.
Status in totem package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Hi,
I know I should stop using a system as slow as Ubuntu in my computer, but I
still do.
The problem is that when you try to launch Totem from Nautilus by double
clicking on a file and that no window is opened in the next minute, you’re no
longer sure whether or not the system noted that you double-clicked and thus
you retry double-clicking.
Then after a while two Totem windows launch… but no one of them responding,
whatever the time you wait for them.
After killing them all, restarting one and patiently waiting the full time
for a Totem window to be fully ready, it worked again.
I’m sorry for the pitch of this bug-report, but I strongly have the
feeling that no one cares about (no so) old computers and assumed that
every launch of a program will be atomic (in the distributed sense:
the execution of the program will be atomic from the moment it starts
to the moment everything has been loaded)… but that’s clearly not the
case, especially running Ubuntu on a laptop aging more than 3 years.
And thus (I guess), parallel executions of the same program break some
assumptions of the code.
I know I should remove Ubuntu from my laptop to switch to something more
serious, but while I don’t I get similar errors from various programs. I think
this particular is the first time I report for Totem, however.
Hoping that Apport’s collected information may be useful,
Yours sincerely,
Martin.
P.S.: I’m really sorry for the general mood of this message, but I
used to think Ubuntu and all its softwares were the best programs
ever… and I got disillusioned as soon as my laptop wasn’t the cutting
edge one. ☹
