Public bug reported: I have lubuntu 11.04. I have had continuous trouble with gnome mplayer freezing entire computer. It only happens somtimes, but often, and only when video/film ends; the second video ends it freezes. It happens in browser (embedded mplayer), both Chromium and Firefox ( with the flash video replacer adddon). Sometimes entire desktop is frozen, sometimes the indicator arrow can be moved around, but cannot make anything work. Keys functions don't work either (like ctrl-alt-w). F keys still work; F1 logs out, and I can log in to a terminal like black screen, and then command "sudo reboot".
The freeze problem is quite consistent, even after new clean install from CD the same problem occurs. I replaced the internal hard drive recently, and the same issue appeared shortly after lubuntu install. It is quite and old Packard Bell laptop, but I doubt it is unique. VLC does not result in freeze, only use of gnome mplayer. ** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/843620 Title: lubuntu / gnome mplayer freezes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/843620/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
