Description Richard Hartmann 2004-09-04 04:22:23 UTC
After I had played different movies (I tried mpg or quicktime) with kaboodle or noatun my system freezed completely, when i was trying to continue working with the KDE desktop including the underlying system.

Qt: 3.3.0
KDE: 3.2.0
Kaboodle: 1.7
Noatun: 2.4.0

I couldn't even access a console login prompt with "CTRL-ALT-F1".

*  media-video/nvidia-kernel :
        [  I] 1.0.4496-r3 (2.4.26-grsec-2.0)

*  media-video/nvidia-glx
      Latest version installed: 1.0.4496

bash-2.05b# lspci
[...]
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a3)

Has that something to do with my installed software (KDE, nvidia drivers?)? 
I do usually only update my system when i run into serious trouble. 
"Never change a running system!"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Play movies with both programms 
2. Afterwards try to continue working

Actual Results:  
System freezes completely, the only solution is to restart the computer.

Expected Results:  
KDE should not freeze after playing movies.

Comment 1 Richard Hartmann 2004-09-12 08:49:46 UTC
After upgrading to

  media-video/nvidia-kernel
      Latest version available: 1.0.5336-r4
      Latest version installed: 1.0.5336-r4

*  media-video/nvidia-glx
      Latest version available: 1.0.5336-r2
      Latest version installed: 1.0.5336-r2

the problem still stayed the same.

The final solution was to upgrade to

*  sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
      Latest version available: 2.4.26-r9
      Latest version installed: 2.4.26-r9
