Bug 102754 – kaffeine 0.7 freezes X window system when starting a video

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED NEEDINFO

[Description Christian Schoenebeck 2005-08-16 14:17:08 UTC]

I can launch kaffeine without problems, but once I try to start playing back 
an arbitrary video it freezes the complete X window system. I cannot even move 
my mouse nor is anything else on the screen refreshed. I can only remotely 
login to the box at this point and notice that X is taking 100% CPU. 
 
I tried several movies; all the same problem. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. launch kaffeine  
2. select a video  
3. start playback 
 
or launch kaffeine with a video file as argument, the result is the same. 
  
Actual Results:  
kaffeine and entire X freezes. 

Expected Results:  
no freeze, playing back the video ;)

Please reopen if you can reproduce it with a standard kernel and with basic 
CFLAGS. 

[Comment 2 Christian Schoenebeck 2005-08-17 07:48:08 UTC]

Hu? Are you serious with just resolving this bug as "invalid"??? I don't have 
any other package which has such a severe problem like kaffeine. This problem 
is persistent for several kernel versions I tried so far and I don't see why my 
CFLAGS should be odd... 

[Comment 3 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) 2005-08-17 08:26:53 UTC]

So it happens with which kernels? With a gentoo or vanilla kernel?  
Does it happen with kaffeine and X compiled with CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 
-pipe"? 
 
Also, do you have any xorg extension enabled? Which video drivers do you use? 
Have you tried different drivers? 
Does it happen with older versions of kaffeine? 
 
Please reopen after proding these basic informations.
