Bug Description
Binary package hint: totem
Hi all,
I'm a first time linux user and just installed ubuntu 10 - edgy eft on a brand new laptop (std specs 1.6ghz, 512mb ram). Booted off the live CD and was looking at the desktop. While I was installing and partitioning the hard disk, I decided to try the example folder out and tried to run Totem, but was promptly and rudely booted out to a completely black screen with nothing but the cursor ticking. Lol... dealt quite a blow to my confidence in Linux having it crash on me in the first five minutes of use and while partitioning my HD no doubt. Anyway, was able to re-partition and finish install, but every time i try to run totem, the window hangs and after about 10seconds i'm booted out to a black screen and nothing recovers from it other than the power button. I don't really know how to do anything yet like make a crash log. I've already looked at the major bugs such as bug 35229, but it doesnt seem to be the same. Help!!!

Thank you for your bug. What video card and video driver do you use? Do you have anything to /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog or /var/log/Xorg.0.log about that?
