Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Sometimes, when i open some media contents (songs, videos, ...), regardless of the application being used (vlc, totem, rhythmbox, ...) my laptop with intel graphical processor becomes incredibly slow and unusable. I can't do practically nothing, even writing on a terminal. Looking at the system monitor I placed in gnome-panel, it seems like a process is running at background, preventing all the other application from using the system's resources. Simultaneously, the hard disk seems busy with some I/O operations, as though the aforementioned background process is doing something with it. After a while everything becomes quite, screen freezes completely, and fans speedup, as though the aforementioned process has gone from background to "foreground". At this point I have the only option to manually shutdown the laptop.
