Comment 10 for bug 158840

the system is up to date. i've gotten this error for months now.

This is a bug that happens sporadically. it seems to be caused by compiz. the temporary way to fix it is to turn off compiz, then turn it back on if you want to keep on using compiz.

when you open a video or audio file, totem runs with the following argument: totem %U

The work around I've found is to run totem in the terminal as just totem

when i get the error, i run totem %U in terminal and i get the following output:

e@e-desktop:~$ totem %U
** Message: Error: Resource not found.
gstfilesrc.c(977): gst_file_src_start (): /play/source:
No such file "/home/e/%U"

I also get small window with the error message

An error occurred

Location not found
