Greetings Steve- I have been all around on thus bug. First I thought it was a Totem bug, next Nautilus but found that if I mount the Samba share the crash is the same. Usually I mount Samba shares instead of using the GUI.
Following is I think the answer to your "mount the samba share as a kernel mount..." [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/ldslnx01/data/AppData/Estonia$ cat tallinn.mpeg > /dev/null [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/ldslnx01/data/AppData/Estonia$ Nothing bad happens. And nothing bad happens playing the movie file with Totem as long as you do not fullscreen it. Sometimes the first time I play a/the movie from the Samba share, it will not play straight through. I have to close Totem, open the file again, then it plays fine. Maybe a cache issue? Also hinting at caching... I deleted both log files for this Hardy workstation on the server... log.ip and log.hostname. I played the movie file again, fullscreen, crash. No log what so ever was generated for the client. I find that very odd. Does a Linux client really cache THAT well? Speed of LAN is switched 100MBps, so 100MBps Full Duplex. Yes, consistent crash every time when I fullscreen the movie. Sometimes when I enlarge the player window, but the consistent problem is fullscreen'ing. My Samba PDC is running Debian Sarge, and updated packages from samba.org which are 3.0.26a-1. Pretty much running stock Sarge other than I snagged a newer kernel a long time ago from "testing"... so this package is the kernel package on the server: linux- image-2.6.12-1-k7_2.6.12-10_i386.deb. I updated the kernel to get a solid version of xfs, as our standard filesystem is xfs. Uptime is... 07:01:16 up 306 days, 23:15, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00 So I would rather not bounce the server! ;-) -- Totem exits fullscreen mode when playing from Samba share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217984 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
