Hi everyone ! Considering the potentially very wide scope of a bug that would freeze the X server, could you guys & gals give more details ?
- OS / ARCH - GPU - Proprietary or open source driver ? - X or Wayland ? - Any PPA ? - How often the bug occurs ? Is it completely random ? - Does it occur with specific videos ? Codecs ? - Does it only occur when seeking into the video ? - In the VLC preferences, what video mode chosen ? - Does it freeze only VLC, the whole session or the whole server ? Can you kill it from the console ? - Do you have similar freezes / crashes in other apps ? As for me : it occurs in Ubuntu 16.04 (KDE Neon actually). Nvidia GTX 1060 + proprietary driver. Bug is random and occurs when seeking a lot into the video. It seems only to occur in VDPAU mode (hardware decoding). I have no other crash at all in any video player or even complex Steam game. I didn't double check with other VDPAU player. This is potentially a massive bug (it occurred on secveral of my machines and freezes the whole session)... Maybe it'll just "disappear" when switching to VLC 3 or Wayland... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574354 Title: playing .mp4 in VLC freezes machine To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1574354/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
