With Totem 2.24.1 and ibex-beta doing Extras|Install Plugin causes a freeze..

[Ron B.]

Binary package hint: totem

on a 64bit Intrepid-Gnome-German Language - when going to Extras|Install Plugins that window/the application freezes and can only be forced to close, via GUI or kill pid command.

(I notice that pre-shaded is the plugin- listing for the bbc plugin <the one that interested me-> and the though has occured that perhaps this is only authorised for use within the UK, <as is a lot of broadband content from the BBC because of no liscence fees paid by potential overseas viewers etc?>

Of course the answer would be to remove- clearly mark as disabled the option when the ubuntu setup in another localisation or running over an appropriate IP etc. What would not be good is to have the totem freezing like now when opening the Plugin selection window. Perhaps this matter is totally unrelated - but the thought crossed my mind.)

Same problem here with a 32 bit Intrepid.

Well I should have waited longer, because after a few minutes it understands it can't find the file it needs and is available again.
Guess it is a duplicate of #274740
