Ubuntu Hardy with Compiz in Acer notebook with Intel 915GM. Ubuntu crashes when Totem or MPlayer are used. It seems that the crash only occurs when a (video) file is double-clicked to launch it. If the application is started and the video file is opened from the application, then it plays without crashing. I haven't run exhaustive testing, but I double-clicked an MPG file, Totem appeared and Ubuntu locked up. After a restart, I changed the application to MPlayer and double-clicked. MPlayer appeared and Ubuntu locked up. After a restart, I loaded MPlayer and opened the MPG from within MPlayer and the video played. Repeated with VLC and the video played.
