interface unresponsive when loading YouTube Video

[Sam_]

Binary package hint: totem

Open Totem side menu tab YouTube.
Search for any keyword e.g. 1200 limos
(sometimes while searching the window greys out already).
Double click on a video to open.
The whole interface darkens back for minutes until finally it loads the video.
Attached strace.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Please try to obtain a backtrace of that hang following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

Since the link says:
>> First, check if there is a package with a -dbg suffix in the main Ubuntu repositories. These are the debug symbol packages, and are equivalent to '-dbgsym' described below. You can safely use either one, but not both at once.<<

I've installed totem-dbg; gdb was already installed.
(I didn't like the idea to add lots of repositories for dbgs.)
But the terminal output said:
Reading symbols from /usr/bin/totem...Reading symbols from /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/totem...done.
(no debugging symbols found)...done.

When the window greyed out and interface was unresponsive I've pressed ctrl+c, as advised in Backtrace.

looks like bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594817 ; could you comment there if you're still getting the issue? Thanks.

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

Samantha, any news about this issue?

[Sam_ (and-sam)]

Thanks for the reminder Kamus, I've obviously missed the message from Pedro.
It isn't an issue anymore in 10.10, don't know about 9.10 which I've reported on, but upstream says it's fixed.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

closing since its not an issue for you anymore. feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
