Bug Description

vlc makes things crash hard, likely due to my huge playlist. crashes unity and or compiz, sometimes hard enough for one of them to not restart itself. i restart compiz in this case in console with export DISPLAY=:0 , and some functionallity returns. i then ctrl-c compiz from console, and it magically restarted itself and unity to working conditions.

Hit this while running 'bzr qlog', then using qdiff to view a diff between revisions.

The crash killed bzr qlog and bzr qdiff, but everything else recovered.

This happened to me when opening my webcam as a capture device in VLC.

I'm not seeing duplicates. Does this mean everyone is landing on this bug from the automatic crash handler opening this page for you?

Daniel,

Yes, I arrived here via the automatic crash handler. I still have my crash from "bzr qdiff", if you want it.

Daniel,

I too arrived here from the automatic crash handler. I have seen this crash multiple times, but the surest way I've found to trigger it is via the "Open Disc" dialog in VLC. The window opens significantly wider than the screen (the buttons normally found on the right of the window are not visible) and shortly thereafter the UI freezes to such an extent that the mouse will not move and the system will not even switch to a virtual console. After a few minutes Unity and Compiz resurrect themselves and the crash handler pops up.

I came here from the automatic handler.

This happens to me whenever I open a video file in VLC. Totem does not trigger the problem. In case it's relevant, I have an nVidia card running the proprietary drivers.

Yes, I also arrived here through the automatic handler.
And, as in the case of David, everytime I open a video this happens.

Default VLC configuration for 12.10 causes this crash because the playlist extends beyond the bottom desktop.

That version has reached EOL since a while, so it will not receive update. If that issue still exist, report again using ubuntu-bug.
