I suggest the bug may be due to a conflict between Automatic Power
Management and the XV component of the X server.  Bugs like these are
reported on http://dev.laptop.org/ ... and nothing that you've said so
far makes me think the bug is specific to Sugar, so
de...@lists.laptop.org may be a more suitable mailing list.  Especially
once you've tested to see if Automatic Power Management being off fixes
the problem.

It doesn't seem bad to me yet, it sounds quite normal, even though it
should be fixed.

Anyone else have a suggestion where the bug might be?  Where are bugs like
these filed now?  Is this OLPC or sugar?

Not being able to reliably unpause video seems like a bad bug to me.

Is Automatic Power Management (My Settings, Power) enabled?

Does the power LED blink?

[Sugar-devel] broken playback in record and jukebox

2010-10-22 Thread Erik Blankinship
( OLPC build 852 on a 1.5 machine.  If this is more of an OLPC question,
please let me know and I will take my question elsewhere)

If I pause a video in either the record or jukebox activities and wait about
20 seconds, then just moving the mouse causes the video to go blank!  Or I
can wait about 80 seconds and the video will go blank on its own.  Reloading
that same video file causes the video to act strangely -- it gets stuck
flickering between two frames.

I am wondering why this bug happens and how to work around it and how it can
be fixed.
