** Description changed: I am using Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. System Specs are: Intel Core Duo 2080 1.73GHz 1 GB RAM DDR2 Intel GMA 950 Graphics card. Problem: It seems that when i try playing video files (flv, mpg, mp4, mov) using vlc or any other video player, the system enters a lockup. The mouse can be moved and the sound is still playing but there is no video and system freezes. I cannot even kill the X server by the default (Ctrl+Alt+Bkspace) combo. The only way to fix such a crash is to reset or hold the power button. I have already done this 7-8 times and last time I was browsing the screensavers on the gnome-screensaver window. After clicking an opengl screensaver the same crash occurred. A check in system log does not show any faults. It seems as if the system freezes before any log of this is made. A same description of this problem is given here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=279872 + A long discussion of the bug is here: + http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5038628#post5038628 + The difference is that the release for that person is 6.06 Dapper Drake.
