[Bug 496616] Re: Mediaplayer crashed with "pa_stream_writable_size() failed: Connection terminated"

2010-07-26 Thread John Baptist
I have a video file that can produce this error reliably in five seconds in totem. Removing gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio package fixes the problem. So, my questions are: 1. Are there any potential negative consequences to removing this package? 2. If not, why is it installed at all? 3. Are there any p

Andreas, Thank you for your informative response. I, too, am feeling more optimistic about this bug. I noticed that isoinfo reports that the problematic images were created with Nero Burning ROM, so I decided to test that tool (version 6.6.0.12; old, but it's what I have). Using the default setti

As a curiosity not directly related to this bug, I've also enclosed another problematic ISO image. This image was made using mkisofs and is displayed correctly by gvfs but incorrectly (with suffixes) in file- roller. The command I used was: mkisofs -o f.iso -no-rr dir This is especally odd, since

Sorry about the delayed response. I finally got a chance to test the latest packages. I tested 2.6.34-020634rc5-generic both with and without xorg-edgers. Without xorg-edgers, the system booted really fast! Impressive. However, when I tried to hibernate, the system immediately locked up hard and d

Doug, thanks for your response. I listen to audio exclusively through headphones or tiny notebook speakers, so the loss of surround sound quality does not scare me. Also, I should point out that the videos that were crashing before I removed the package were indeed AC3 surrounded sound encoded, so

2010-07-27 Thread John Baptist
I used to have this issue, but I believe it was fixed in lucid-updates. Sorry, I don't recall the exact bug. The problem, as I recall, was that the fade-out from a logout set the screen gamma to zero, and this was not restored. Do you still have this problem with a fully-updated lucid? -- No Logo

I'll note that in my experience, this problem is not limited to WMA files: it happens in MP3 files, as well. So I'm not sure what the common element is. Would it be helpful to attach an MP3 that causes this error? It seems that the upstream bug is still not confirmed. -- cannot change track info

Under Lucid, I created a user named test.test with useradd and can confirm that that user was then editable with users-admin, so I guess this bug can be closed. Some interesting things discovered in my investigation completely tangential to this bug, but perhaps warranting a bug report of their ow

The apparmor-caused issue of Guest account not being able to run suid programs is actually farther-reaching.
