Usually. I always have to restart the computer. Once the screen didn't go black or blank. Instead the window manager seemed to get confused and clicking on items with the mouse had no effect, I could still change workspaces, but I couldn't change tabs in the browser. Larry On Sat, Sep 11, 2010

It was working just fine until about 6:40 PM today when I was dragging on the vertical slidebar of Firefox and bingo, I lost the video again. I was beginning to think that the problem was solved. That was something that caused it before. I haven't had a problem with the Sudoku game which had on

OK, I removed the driver and rebooted. So far all I've noticed is that I only have 2 workspaces now whereas I used to have 4. I tried resetting it back to 4, but it didn't work as advertised. I wasn't clear on what the message wanted me to do. la...@larry-desktop:~$ gconftool-2 --direct \ > -

No. I was referring to my original bug report for the Totem Movie Player. I think that Linux is still running, but either X windows or the video driver screwed up somehow. Larry On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 8:01 PM, David Tombs wrote: > Hi Larry, > > I didn't quite understand your reply. Are you ta

It probably didn't crash. I'm having a video problem of some sorts where the screen goes blank or it gets corrupted in some way where mouse clicks on buttons etc. seem to have no effect. I suspect that the system may still be running since there's nothing in the system log to indicate foul play u

David, I'm currently running version 9.04 of Ubuntu. The issue only occurs sometimes. The symptoms vary. Usually the screen is cleared of all useful information. The last occurrence was different from all previous. The browser windows were duplicated, but displaced and overlaying the original

Fabio, I've attached all but the last one, Xorg.1.log which doesn't exist on my system. Wouldn't the previous versions of these log files be more likely to contain the relevant incident information? I thought that new incarnations of the log files were created after a reboot. Thanks for your he

Thanks for the package hint. I'm pretty sure now that this bug is somewhere other than Movie Player. I believe that the real bug is in X-Windows, the video driver, or my systems video controller. I don't know how to narrow it down. Some applications seem to aggravate the problem more than other

It's possible that the crash was caused by a problem that I was having on a non-boot hard drive. It just happened to crash when I was using movie player. Thanks for the reply and the information. Larry On Mon, Jun 1, 2009 at 9:49 AM, Sebastien Bacher wrote: > whatever totem does the system sh
