Thanks for your response, I do want to help make Ubuntu better. So to answer your question, I have tried ogg vorbis, ogg theora and an mp3 file.
The specific ogg files are the ones included as examples on Ubuntu 8.04.2. If you need an MP3 file, I can get you a test file. I have not tried an AVI file, but I did try a WMV file and the system hung. You mentioned capturing backtrace data..will that work if the system hangs and must be powered off? I'll be glad to give this a try, but I'm new to that process. I do however have a vested interest in getting this to work. I will read and see what I can do to generate the logs. For what it's worth this is the first system I have had with this problem. Again, it's a new Lenovo Thinkpad R400. -- Totem hangs entire system when playing ogg vorbis, ogg theora or mp3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330756 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to totem in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
