do you get the issue on any video? do you use the desktop effect option? what videocard and driver do you use?

[Lakshmanan (lak89)]

I get the same error in vlc as well.. and it happens only with videos. I have 865GV intel D Core motherboard and it has integrated graphics card... and, No i don use the desktop effect option... i tried to enable the desktop effects but it did not enable them...

[Lakshmanan (lak89)]

totem just closes whenever i play a video ( by File->Open or by right clicking the file and click 'Play' ) .. It not even happens with avi but with all the video files... and in vlc as well... should i attach anyother information with this bug report to get this bug 'confirmed' here

[Lakshmanan (lak89)]

The same error happens with MPlayer as well..

The same here. I think I have to restart nvidia server, but not sure how.

[Mark S (mail-m-saelzer)]

after playing a bit around I found a solution:
- start ubuntu in recovery mode (press esc at startup and choose from menu)
-scroll all the way down and choose "fix graphic problems"
-start normally

that did it for me.

cheers
Mark

I am also finding the same problem. I tried "fix graphic problems" also. It did not work. In gxine only text captions are visible when I play movies. Only sound is heard. Picture does not appear. Totem closes immediately.
