After patching today, the problem is gone. However, totem itself wasn't updated, so it must have been something else causing the problem, which is odd, because totem was the only program experiencing it. VLC and MPlayer worked fine, as well as all the other GTK and gstreamer-based programs on my system.
Here's the list of updates installed, if anyone is interested: Upgraded the following packages: clamav (0.95.2+dfsg-4ubuntu4) to 0.95.3+dfsg-1ubuntu0.09.10 clamav-base (0.95.2+dfsg-4ubuntu4) to 0.95.3+dfsg-1ubuntu0.09.10 clamav-freshclam (0.95.2+dfsg-4ubuntu4) to 0.95.3+dfsg-1ubuntu0.09.10 cups (1.4.1-5ubuntu2) to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 cups-bsd (1.4.1-5ubuntu2) to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 cups-client (1.4.1-5ubuntu2) to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 cups-common (1.4.1-5ubuntu2) to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 cups-ppdc (1.4.1-5ubuntu2) to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 cupsddk (1.4.1-5ubuntu2) to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 cupsys (1.4.1-5ubuntu2) to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 cupsys-bsd (1.4.1-5ubuntu2) to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 cupsys-client (1.4.1-5ubuntu2) to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 cupsys-common (1.4.1-5ubuntu2) to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 firefox (3.5.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1) to 3.5.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1 firefox-3.0 (3.5.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1) to 3.5.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1 firefox-3.5 (3.5.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1) to 3.5.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1 firefox-3.5-branding (3.5.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1) to 3.5.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1 firefox-3.5-gnome-support (3.5.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1) to 3.5.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1 firefox-gnome-support (3.5.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1) to 3.5.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1 gnome-settings-daemon (2.28.1-0ubuntu1) to 2.28.1-0ubuntu2 ibus (1.2.0.20090927-2ubuntu1) to 1.2.0.20090927-2ubuntu2 ibus-gtk (1.2.0.20090927-2ubuntu1) to 1.2.0.20090927-2ubuntu2 icedtea-6-jre-cacao (6b16-1.6.1-1ubuntu3) to 6b16-1.6.1-3ubuntu1 libclamav6 (0.95.2+dfsg-4ubuntu4) to 0.95.3+dfsg-1ubuntu0.09.10 libcups2 (1.4.1-5ubuntu2) to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 libcupscgi1 (1.4.1-5ubuntu2) to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 libcupsdriver1 (1.4.1-5ubuntu2) to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 libcupsimage2 (1.4.1-5ubuntu2) to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 libcupsmime1 (1.4.1-5ubuntu2) to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 libcupsppdc1 (1.4.1-5ubuntu2) to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 libibus1 (1.2.0.20090927-2ubuntu1) to 1.2.0.20090927-2ubuntu2 libjline-java (0.9.94-1ubuntu1) to 0.9.94-5~ubuntu1 libpam-smbpass (2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5) to 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.1 libsmbclient (2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5) to 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.1 libwbclient0 (2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5) to 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.1 openjdk-6-jre (6b16-1.6.1-1ubuntu3) to 6b16-1.6.1-3ubuntu1 openjdk-6-jre-headless (6b16-1.6.1-1ubuntu3) to 6b16-1.6.1-3ubuntu1 openjdk-6-jre-lib (6b16-1.6.1-1ubuntu3) to 6b16-1.6.1-3ubuntu1 python-ibus (1.2.0.20090927-2ubuntu1) to 1.2.0.20090927-2ubuntu2 samba (2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5) to 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.1 samba-common (2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5) to 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.1 samba-common-bin (2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5) to 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.1 smbclient (2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5) to 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.1 tzdata (2009o-1ubuntu2) to 2009r-0ubuntu9.10 tzdata-java (2009o-1ubuntu2) to 2009r-0ubuntu9.10 winbind (2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5) to 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.1 xsane (0.996-2ubuntu1) to 0.996-2ubuntu1.1 xsane-common (0.996-2ubuntu1) to 0.996-2ubuntu1.1 xulrunner-1.9.1 (1.9.1.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1) to 1.9.1.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1 xulrunner-1.9.1-gnome-support (1.9.1.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1) to 1.9.1.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1 -- totem hangs frequently and for a long time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/478933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
