Title: VLC under Wayland causes system freezes in fullscreen mode Status in VLC media player: New Status in vlc package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in vlc package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: Ubuntu version: 17.10 (most recent updates as of October 3rd) vlc version: 2.2.6-6 Whan I expect to happen: When playing a video in vlc and switching to fullscreen mode everything should work fine. Also when changing to a different position of a movie in fullscreen I expect the player to just switch to that position. What actually happens: It seems to depend a little on the file type of the video, mostly I get problems when going to fullscreen mode and then switching to a different position with the playback position bar. With some videos it was even enough to just open the fullscreen mode. The video freezes just displaying a frame while the audio keeps playing. The computer does not react any more to mouse or keyboard input, I have to perform a hard reboot. This problem only appears under the Wayland session, in the Xorg session everything works fine as expected. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-09-30 (2 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Alpha amd64 (20170926) Package: vlc 2.2.6-6 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-12.13-generic 4.13.3 Tags: artful wayland-session Uname: Linux 4.13.0-12-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo vboxusers _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/vlc/+bug/1720901/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
