Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem-xine

totem-xine crashes when launched without a file to play with the following error:

The program 'totem' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 81 error_code 11 request_code 141 minor_code 19)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

However, when launched by double clicking a file or inserting a DVD video disk, totem executes correctly and plays the file.

Thanks for the bug report. This seems to be similar to bug #35229. Can you see if the workaround provided at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/35229 about renaming /usr/share/totem/totem_logo.png to /usr/share/totem/totem_logo.png.old takes care of the error you are receiving?

Changed in totem:

This does indeed correct the problem. I apologize for the duplicate. I should note that this seems to be i915 specific, since that is the videocard in my laptop. This bug never occured at all on my desktop which uses a Nvidia GeForce4 440 MX.
