In Windows XP the crashes do not happen when playing videos. So far we know the following:
-no crashes in Windows XP -regular, reproducible crashes when playing videos using the NVidia drivers: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-270.41.06 NVIDIA-Linux-x86-295.40 -instantaneous crash when inserting the Nouveau module: depmod nouveau Since the Nouveau module crash is different from this bug (at least in its behavior), I'll open another bug specifically for it. It also seems the easiest to debug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/981813 Title: Linux freezes when playing video To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/981813/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
