I tried the latest nvidia drivers (169.07) on Ubuntu Gutsy and this bug is not present anymore. I mean, this bug has evolved (as the black window bug did?). Now if there are many windows open (so the video memory is full), videos won't start playing at all, I've tested vlc, mplayer, xine and its derivates.
for example mplayer gives this error: X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)?,?% 1 0 MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: vo_check_events xine gives this error: X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 141 (XVideo) Minor opcode of failed request: 19 () Serial number of failed request: 2504 Current serial number in output stream: 2505 vlc gives this error (the same as xine): X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 141 (XVideo) Minor opcode of failed request: 19 () Serial number of failed request: 82 Current serial number in output stream: 83 But the difference (and improvement! thanks to nvidia) is that when you free up some video memory (closing some of the open windows) the error does not appear, and videos play nicely. I will keep testing it -- video playback doesn't work on Gutsy Beta and nvidia drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146455 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
