Thanks for looking into this. I tried full screen in eog, evince and totem. None of those seem to cause any problems.
Actually, the same holds for full screen in f-spot: it seems to work fine in full screen mode. But the slide show is misbehaving. Could it be anything to do with the transition effect? There's a strange flicker before the first slide is displayed, then a couple show up fine, with a sort of fade to white (?) between the slides, and then the system just freezes. Is there a way to disable the transition effect? Something else I've noticed: after stopping (pressing power for 4s) and shortly thereafter booting, the last image (the slide displayed when the freeze occurs) is visible for a couple of milliseconds, just before the gdm login screen comes up. I guess this is just a physical phenomenon related to some property of the hardware, not sure if it's any help but I thought I'd mention it anyway. -- System freezes when using F-spot slide show https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292721 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
