OK, after more investigation, it has nothing to do with the mplayerplug- in. The standalone Realplayer also crashes my system several times. Rather, it appears that the problem is due to Realplayer using XVideo by default. When I uncheck the "Use XVideo" in Reaplplayer, it no longer crashes. I have a Dell Inspiron B130 (1300) laptop with Intel 915 video.
It's still a major bug, because it royally crashes the system by default. ** Changed in: Ubuntu Sourcepackagename: mplayerplug-in => None -- Realplayer crashes entire system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
