Package: linux-2.6 Version: > 2.6.23 Severity: normal
Hi, Since updating the kernel to 2.6.24 I get some strange hiccups when trying to play media files. They play fine for some time (random, but usually after one hour or so) and then they stop. When I start typing or moving the mouse they play on for as long as I provide some input. When I stop, they hang as well. All media players are affected be it MPlayer or Totem. Even GIF animations in Firefox stop moving when this is happening. I thought it might be caused by NO_HZ, but disabling and rebuilding did not help. I am currently building a kernel with NO_HZ and HIGH_RES_TIMERS off (#458312). I have tried various kernels (currently 2.6.25.13) and all seem to have this problem (building with the Debian kernel settings). regards, Marek -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25.13 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
