Public bug reported: When playing or attempting to play a video file on 12.04 up to date with updates the screen goes black and logs you out. I'm assuming this is either a session crash or a forced logout.
Apps tested: VLC, Totem File types: AVI, MKV, 3GP, MP4, FLV Checking syslog I'm finding this: gnome-session[3113]: Gdk-WARNING: gnome-session: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.#012 Replication: Navigate to a video file via nautilus or lenses Click/Double click on the file accordingly The default app or app selected will start As soon as video file kicks in to play screen goes blank You are presented with the login screen ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gnome-session 3.2.1-0ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-17.27-generic 3.2.6 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-17-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 1.94-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Mar 3 19:58:42 2012 PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: gnome-session UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-03-02 (1 days ago) ** Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/946002 Title: gnome-session: Fatal IO error 11 when playing videos To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/946002/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
