X server restarts when playing video, visualization

[Andrii Dutko]

Ubuntu 9.04 - the Jaunty Jackalope
Intel Core Duo 2
intel 965G
internal video chipset

Whenever i try to play a video (tried VLC and Totem) the X server restarts (the screen goes black and i'm in front of login window). The same goes when playing visualization in Totem.
I'm using the video codecs, proposed by Ubuntu.
Screensavers work fine.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please attach your X server configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the "Attachment:" box below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf and let Xorg autodetect your display and video card? Please also attach the /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt. Thanks in advance.

I must apologize for answering so lately.
Please, see the above mentioned files in attachment

Note:
There where 2 files in the /var/log/Xorg. directory: xorg.0.log and xorg.0.log.old
xorg.0.log1 is a log file after 2 more failed attempts to play video and then a system restart with the xorg.conf file absent.

Will gladly provided any additionally needed information.

You are using the intrepid kernel (2.6.27-11-generic x86_64), which does not have GEM.
To play video in jaunty, you do need to use a gem enabled kernel.
Can you please test with the jaunty kernel (2.6.28-11-generic) and let us know if that works?

[Andrii Dutko (4ugeistr)]

I've tried it with (2.6.28-13-generic) kernel and it worked just fine.

Thanks a lot for your help ;)

Great! I will close the bug then.
