Lupine, Thank you for the continued encouragement sorting through this issue.
I have installed MPlayer and found that it also hung on the video file. I then rebooted and tried the ogg vorbis file and it played. So MPlayer got it half correct. :) These are the files being tested as included with Ubuntu 8.04.2 (Hardy Heron) LTS: -Experience ubuntu.ogg -ubuntu Sax.ogg I will review the process at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and gather more information. Sebastien, I reported this error as with Totem because I could and can reproduce it every time. As a troubleshooting effort I have to start with what I can reproduce and work from there. I realize this may ultimately be an issue with other software on my system, however, I'm doing my best to be descriptive so that others who may encounter a similar problem will have a place to begin. I will gladly provide any logs that will help resolve this issue. Since I am new to this process, please be verbose as to which log file or files I need to include. -- 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
