kernel bug while playing video Totem

[Charles]

I'm using the following drivers:
* NVIDIA 9631
* ipw3945

While I try to play a video (14042007001.mp4: ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, version 2) using Totem, the systems locks halfly and the following message is dumped to console:

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. With which version of the kernel did you notice this issue? Thanks in advance.

[Sitsofe Wheeler (sitsofe)]

Charles:
In addition to the above, could you also indicate where you obtained the NVIDIA 9631 drivers from? There's a NVRM: Xid in this bug which ties this to the NVIDIA binary driver...

[Charles (charles-bovy)]

I'm using the following:

linux-image-2.6.20-14-generic 2.6.20.14.12
nvidia 1:1.0.9631+2.6.20.5-14.18

I do see that there is a new kernel and new nvidia available today via Software Update. Does an upgrade help?

With regards,

Charles

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Not necessarily but the kernel team only works on bugs with the current version of the kernel.

[Charles (charles-bovy)]

I've upgraded to

linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic 2.6.20.15.14
nvidia 1.0.9631+2.6.20.5-15.20

and the kernel-dump disappeared. Wireless keeps working (ipw3945).

But I still have a very slow responding system during playback. No video and bad audio.
The following is a output from mplayer:

Too early with my conclusion. This kernel also has problem with video playback. I tried a video playback using the totem-plugin in Mozilla.
The following message appeared on the console and I lost wireless connectivity:

Hi,

I did a manual installation of nvidia-glx-new (1.0.9755+2.6.20.5-15.20) and had to remove nvidia-glx. Now everything runs fine. Totem and mplayer do run fine, no intermittent sound anymore, video is displayed ok.
I'll keep an eye on it the coming days.

Regards, Charles

[Sitsofe Wheeler (sitsofe)]

Charles:
Since you've gone with a manual install of the nvidia drivers if there are any issues arising from using them could those issues can no longer be usefully reported here (as this part of launchpad is for reporting problems with Ubuntu repository provided software). Your best bet would be to report any new problems on the NVIDIA forums over at http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14 .

Closing this bug as the Charles has found a working 3rd party workaround.

[Charles (charles-bovy)]

Hi Sitsofe,

I think you misunderstood. I did a manual installation of nvidia-glx-new
using Synaptic. This package was not installed using the software updater.

I did not do a full manual installation of the drivers from the
nvidia.comwebsite. I'm using the Ubuntu repository packages.

With regards,

Charles

Per a decision made by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, bugs will longer be assigned to the ubuntu-kernel-team in Launchpad as part of the bug triage process. The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.
