Public bug reported: Binary package hint: vlc
This is a fairly fresh Kubuntu install on a brand new notebook. I watch a video file in VLC (over smb:// usually) and suddenly the video freezes and the last half a second of the sound repeats over and over (like a scratched record). The PC is completely frozen, not even alt+sysreq+b responds. I have to power cycle the machine. It happens when playing video files, I've had this problem with both .AVI and .MKV files. It happens quite randomly. VLC is being used with the default settings. KDE Desktop Effects are disabled. The only change to vlc.desktop is that I've added this line at the bottom (this is missing in the package config, some other bug): "X-KDE-Protocols=ftp,http,smb,mms,rtsp" I use a notebook with an external VGA screen, this particular time I got a kernel-panic kind of output on my notebook screen.
