 This would suggest that the nvidia taintware is the cause.
 
Well I said similar, not exact.  From my system:

I was not aware that Nouveau was considered taintware.  (Yes, I actually put 
up with the annoying pause-then-jerk behavior under nouveau while playing a 
video more than about 1/4 screen size.)

  Listed as critical because it affects every other process on the
  computer when it crashes.
 
 Reduced to important because it's not a xine problem.
 
 (I was tempted to just close it on seeing nvidia. Consider yourself
 lucky.)
 
Since you've determined it is not a xine problem, please close.  

Since this involves nvidia I think the best I can hope for is a wontfix 
anyway.

Cheers!

 I was not aware that Nouveau was considered taintware.

You said nvidia graphics, compared it with a similar issue, and failed to
mention nouveau. From that, let's just say that it's not obvious.

 (Yes, I actually put up with the annoying pause-then-jerk behavior under
 nouveau while playing a video more than about 1/4 screen size.)

Hmm. Being an ATI/Intel graphics user, I wouldn't know about that.

Done.

Not necessarily, at least if you report it as either a kernel problem or an
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau problem, whichever you think is appropriate. (But

Bug#599154: xine-ui: xine locks up machine while playing

2010-10-05 Thread James Zuelow
Package: xine-ui
Version: 0.99.6-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


While watching any video over 20 minutes, xine will cause the system to
crash.

I hear an audible dee-dee-dah-dun sound, which I think is the ACPI
shutdown sound, or perhaps the hibernate sound.  

Just after the sound, the video goes black.  The video
sound continues for one or two seconds, then stops.

At that point the system is completely unresponsive.

I've tried typing blind to switch to a virtual console to restart the
system or restart X, which Google searches indicated might be possible.
In my case, it is not.

Pressing the power button momentarily to start the shutdown process does
not work.  I have to hold down the power button to force a shutdown.

If I am *not* watching a video with xine, the machine does not
spontaneously shut down.  I have power settings in KDE set to keep the
machine up 24/7 if AC power is supplied.  Xine will shut down the
machine even if AC power is supplied.

I can remove the battery and run on only AC power, and xine will still
cause the shutdown so I do not think it is a battery issue.

There are no log entries in /var/log/syslog to indicate a shutdown or
hibernation took place.  The log just stops, and starts again after I
power cycle the machine.

This is an HP DV9000Z laptop, with amd CPU and nvidia graphics.  A similar 
issue is
listed here:

http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6t=51904

however in my case switching the video away from auto (the default) or
xv does not resolve the matter.

Listed as critical because it affects every other process on the
computer when it crashes.

Bug#599154: xine-ui: xine locks up machine while playing

2010-10-05 Thread Darren Salt
severity 599154 important

I demand that James Zuelow may or may not have written...

 While watching any video over 20 minutes, xine will cause the system to
 crash.

[snip]
 Pressing the power button momentarily to start the shutdown process does
 not work.  I have to hold down the power button to force a shutdown.

Is that not intercepted to display a logout/shutdown/restart dialogue box?
(I always set things up so that that happens when in X.)

Anyway, that the computer is hung makes it not a xine bug but some
combination of X driver bug and kernel bug. You will have to reassign this
accordingly and bump the severity.

[snip]
 There are no log entries in /var/log/syslog to indicate a shutdown or
 hibernation took place.  The log just stops, and starts again after I
 power cycle the machine.

One of these will help you to get log info:
