Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: totem
I tried reporting a bug but my report vanished so i'm trying again
Movie player screen filckers. It seems to be cycling through all the
open windows on my desktop. Also when i try opening a file browser (or
any other window) the player wont let it stay on top.
My work-around, of putting the player window onto the empty desktop 2,
showed me another problem. The movie keeps filckering anyway.
I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 with Totem 2.24.3 with default settings. I tried
xine player but with the same result and the problem seems to happen
where-ever the movie file is stored (locally or over the network or even
on Cd drive) and i've tried mkv aswell as avi formats but always
gettting this curious flickering.
When i switched off my ati drivers i couldn't open totem at all. It
just crashed out and vanished.
Sorry if this just repeats my previous report.
Totem and Linux are excellent. Ubuntu is my favourite flavour and i'm
lucky enough to never seem to have any problems usually, certainly not
as many as with Microsoft and always easier to find answers for.
