Wallace and Gromit! We have to get this working! :)
It is interesting that the direct GStreamer playback worked. I wonder
if the problem is due to compositing, or to Totem, or both. We can also
see in the terminal output that Xvideo is being used - I'm not sure if
this is the case when playing
Cracking cheese madbiologist!
Yes, I closed the playback window prematurely, as I did not have the
time to see the whole movie again just then. (It is one of the many
hundreds of ABC TV Australia shows I have stored thanks to Jeremy
Visser's wonderful Python iView application
I fully agree about the need for more testing. If I was you I'd be
feeling pretty frustrated right now. Although I think Canonical could do
more testing of Ubuntu before release, I would also like to say that
testing is something that us users can help out with. Canonical do not
have the money
Thank you for your analyses and insights. I would suggest that to
advance to a new OS version, firstly one should not break what already
works well in the existing version, then provide some sort on
intelligence to detect what more modern and advanced features are
available on the receiving PC
Yeah, your best bet for now is probably VLC. You can download Ubuntu
10.04 LTS from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download but you
would have to do a clean install. As far as I know it is not possible
to downgrade to an earlier version, keeping config etc.
Do you mind if we close this
Sure, feel free to close the bug, but this demonstrates that more
testing needs to be done on older PCs before releasing new versions.
Not everyone can afford the latest and greatest and Ubuntu is supposed
to be developed mindful of community needs and widespread usefulness.
Cheers.

Yes that is unfortunate. I never thought that when I upgraded to
Ubuntu 11.04 from 10.x that I'd be stuck with a cumbersome (although
good in some respects) new GUI (which would not activate on anything but
my laptop and had to revert to classic on my desktop PCs) and my
movies would no longer
Well, I just uninstalled / reinstalled flashplugin-installer using the

Hmm. Interesting that VLC works and GStreamer based apps such as Totem
and Banshee do not.
To attach the output of lspci -vvnn, start by opening a command prompt
(this should be under Applications Accessories Terminal in the
classic desktop). Then type lspci -vvnn without the quotation marks.
Thanks so much for that help. Please find the output of lspci -vvnn
attached.

Is flashplugin-installer still installed after the upgrade?
Given that you think this is caused by the new video driver in Ubuntu
11.04, please attach the output of lspci -vvnn

The same problem afflicts the new 11.04 release Banshee Media Player when
trying to playback video files of any type.
It occurs on this PC with a half Gb of RAM and on my second desktop PC, also
with 11.04 Natty just installed and all updates checked and installed, which
has One Gb of RAM. Both
The 7 year old Toshiba laptop running the Unity GUI has no issue with
