So, I figured out what the cause of this is/was. Totem fails to work properly if it cannot connect to a DBUS.
To reproduce my failure above, ssh to a remote machine and try to play an http:// URI in Totem. It should fail. Now try to do the same thing with dbus-launch: $ dbus-launch bash -c "totem http://..."; and it should work. Should Totem really fail to play an http:// stream just because it cannot connect to a DBUS? -- won't open an http uri https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306557 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
