Ubuntu crashes and reboot when a DivX CD is inserted!

[Alicia Boya]

I have recently installed Ubuntu karmic koala. I updated the system, then I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and then I tried to watch a divx video-cd of Los Simpson to see if it works.

what expected:
-to could see the film

what happened:
-when I inserted the CD ubuntu automatically rebooted.
When it has been rebooted, I put my password, and again it rebooted when gnome started with the CD into.

Other discs (data disc) doesn't make any problem, but I don't think this behavior be normal.

steps to reproduce:
-simply put a divx video-cd in your cd drive with Ubuntu Karmic and see what happens.

This bug affect both x86 and x64 architectures. I only had noticed it in gnome. Starting from xterm or lxde don't make the system reboot, even you can see the film!

Surely this bug is related with gnome.

I started with xterm instead of gnome.
I inserted the CD.
Then, I called gnome-panel. Nothing occurred.
After that, I called nautilus. Nautilus started, it detected the CD, and system crashed.

So, I think, it's probably to be fault of Nautilus.

Hello
is this problem present with the latest updated Karmic's or Lucid's packages?
Thanks in advance

I can't try it for now with updated lucid's packages, but last time I tried with a lucid install, it crashed...
Fortunately in fresh maverick's gnome, this bug does not longer happens. So it is fixed.
