Fedora :: MPlayer / VLC Freezing Randomly In F13
Aug 18, 2010
I'm running Fedora 13 32-bit on a Samsung NC20 netbook (specifications here: [URL]. Everything works fine, with the exception of media playback via VLC and mplayer. The biggest problem is that the entire OS frequently locks up when exiting full-screen playback in either application, and occasionally locks-up when starting playback via mplayer. Video is also always on top of other windows, regardless of whether the application is configured to be always on top.
The lock-ups are severe enough to warrant powering off the machine, as CTRL+ALT+Fx does nothing. I suspect this is related to the machine's VIA CPU/graphics chipset - I've had problems with them before in other Linux distros, but playback was fine under F12 on the same machine. Because the video windows are always on top, I suspect there's a general issue affecting media playback - hopefully configuration related!

I have a Dell studio 15 laptop with 4GB RAM,320GB HDD,ATI Radeon HD 7450 graphics card(512MB) ,Inetl core i3 processor.I am multibooting Fedora 13 with Windows 7.My problem is that Fedora 13 freezes randomly few minutes after booting.Initially,crashing occurred when i was browsing with Firefox,so i downloaded and installed Opera,again the system was freezing.Then i even removed the ethernet cord to check whether there is some problem with ethernet driver.I am trying to use Fedora 13 for running ns2.But,this freezing problem is a big setback.

I noticed in the last month or so that Ubuntu keeps on randomly locking up and freezing.Most of the time Crtl+Alt+Backspace (zap X) does not work and I have to power down my PC manually.What has happened good old reliable Ubuntu? Its starting to p.i.ss me off now but luckily I haven't lost anything of value as a result of these lockups.

I installed Slackware 13 (full install) a few days ago and every thing is working well except KDE freezes (I'd say randomly but lately it seems as if it happens after I use a KDE program or component.) and nothing works except the mouse cursor, I have to use the power on/off to reset the computer. After a reboot and fsck checks the partition that was unmounted improperly I log in delete a few bad files (.serverauth.XXXX, socket-speeedy and tmp-speedy) I'm usually able to restart KDE using startx. Googling around I think it may be my on board Intel video, dmesg id's it as the Intel 830M Chipset. BTW, this box ran Mandrake 10.1 for the last 6-7 years without problem, for what's worth.

Randomly; my computer will freeze up. I can move the mouse but I cannot click on anything. This has happened at least 20 times today. Occasionally my computer will totally just shut down. My computer has been almost completely rendered Useless. I do not know what to do or even where to begin. The sooner we solve this problem the better. I do college online... so this has a major impact on me and my work and progress as a student.

What's even weirder is it unlocks when I press power on my desktop. When it freezes, I have several windows opened, and I'm switching between windows. I can still move the mouse, but cant click anywhere. Cant select anything yet there are still cursors flashing (text editor or terminal). The only thing that will unfreeze everything is the signal from pressing power (not rebooting, just quickly pressing power).

i'm using debian wheezy and whenever i'm playing a webm video, typically on videos, totem and mplayer can't play video. the video just freezes. (i assume because they both use gstreamer.) when i try to use vlc when those 2 aren't working, the video does play but there is no sound.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on an AMD64 computer with an ATI Raedon x1250 graphics card.
Everything runs fine for about 3 hours, then it will randomly stop working.
Symptoms:
Mouse stops moving for 10 seconds.
Screen goes white.
Speakers start repeating last 10 seconds of whatever was playing.
Screen goes orange or purple with lines across it and random symbols...
At that point I hardware restart my computer and all is fine again
dmesg yields the following after every crash

I am having a problem. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a Sony Vaio FW series. It has Nvidia graphics that I don't think the OS is taking advantage of, whatever. It also came with 64-bit Windows, it's a 32-bit OS, and again, as far as I have been concerned, whatever. It's been functioning fine for the half a year since I installed it.
Until recently. My computer has been freezing. What happened first is that the screen randomly whited out, fading in splotches to black and then back to white. This freaked me out, but restarting seemed to smooth things out. Then windows in the OS wouldn't resize, then Flash videos would freeze the OS up, repeating the 2 seconds of sound it last played. Over and over again. In a loop. On a white screen. Sometimes with vertical stripes.
This all happens inconsistently, and whenever I restart it's fine again. I just want to know if there's a deeper issue so that I can resolve it. Otherwise I have been completely satisfied, as a previous Windows and OSX user who is computer-competent within a GUI.

I have a problem after the installation of ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop a6jc (32bit). It randomly freeze for some seconds even if the cpu isn't at 100% working.I check the hard disk status and attached you can find the log.During the freeze the shell show the following text
[24968.000087] ata1.01: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen

This should be a very elementary question. I have a URL like http://SERVERNAME/file.wmv. When I enter it in "Open Location" in gnome-mpLayer it connects to the server and plays the stream. But when I run
mplayer "URL"
in the terminal I get a crazy endless loop of
Playing URL.
Resolving SERVERNAME for AF_INET6...
Couldn't resolve name for AF_INET6: SERVERNAME
Resolving SERVERNAME for AF_INET...
Connecting to server SERVERNAME[xxx.xx.xxx.xx]: 80...
Cache size set to 320 KBytes
I think my usage of mplayer in the terminal is correct, since I can watch other URL's.It's only this specific one that doesn't work (I am not authorized to write the URL because they want it to be private.So my question is: Does anyone know why I get this loop? Or is it possible to see how mplayer is called by gnome-mplayer and what output messages it generates?I use gnome-mplayer 0.9.9.2 and mplayer 1.0rc4-4.4.5 on Ubuntu 10.10.

Some do. Most don't. (For example FoF launches gives a black screen and freezes Fedora hard-reset needed) I tried a heap of games from the repos. Most of them freeze I wouldn't know where to start to solve the problem.. Also most N64 Emulators don't work so no games or anything is REALLY boring...

I've recently installed Fedora 12, and it constantly freezes. The only common aspect between the freezes is that the freezes occurred when firefox was running. When it does freeze, I'm not able to use ctrl+alt+f[1...6] or even ctrl+alt+backspace.

My screen has started freezing periodically. The mouse still moves the cursor but nothing else responds. Ctrl-Alt -F1 doesn't give me a terminal screen nor does Ctrl-Alt-Backspace restart X I must turn off the computer and turn it on again to reboot. I don't remember having this problem with Fedora 11, but I recently moved to Fedora 12. I am using the kernel
2.6.32.14-127.fc12.i686.PAE
Looking at /var/log/messages,
I find repeated instances of the error message
[drm:radeon_ib_schedule] *ERROR* radeon: couldn't schedule IB(4).
before the reboot.
Google provides many references going back to April for this string, mostly on Ubuntu related sites. I do have an 128 MB ATI Radeon X300 graphics card but it is over four years old, and I didn't have this problem with earlier versions of Fedora. Also, the google references seem to refer to hibernation, which I am not doing, at least not intentionally. Finally, I see that Xorg configuration has changed significantly since I last checked. (I can't find xorg.conf.) Can anyone refer me to a relatively succinct description of how it now works?

Fedora 14 is freezing while starting services. what I know is that the system is passing kernel verification. Is there a way to choose which service to start during bootup?

I've been using Fedora 5 for a few years and have never had a problem with it. Recently I upgraded to Fedora 14 and have run into a problem with the desktop freezing a few minutes after it comes up. I can move the mouse pointer around but nothing happens when I click on any icon. This happens with Gnome as well as KDE. I haven't tried Xfce. I think I read somewhere that the freezing is a problem with my video chip which is an SiS located on the motherboard. Is there a way to fix this problem?

I bought brand new hardware - S-AM3 GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H and installed fedoda core14 64bit. I have a enterprise backup. The name is rsnapshot. It's a backup over ssh using rsync.rsync version is 3.0.8 on server and workstations. The server is ubuntu 8.04 32bit. No problems with fc5, fc8, ubuntu and so on as clients.When i do a croned backup then sometimes i have a hang on the clients. No ping works and no ssh connection. crtl + alt + f1 or so - i dont konow if it works.I created a 250 gb file and copied it with scp and "rsync over ssh", but i could not reproduce the failure.

I just did a fresh install of Fedora 15 last weekend. Since then I haven't had any problems with it except of course a few bug reports every now and then.Today, out of the blue, my system start freezing, giving me no choice but to hard reboot.As a particularity when the system freezes I can still move the cursor on the screen but everything else seizes to respond.It happens every time within 10 minutes after reboot, and even sooner if I launch the internet browser (behaves the same with both Firefox and Epiphany) or if I open a video file.

After a year of rock solid usage out of my Fedora 11 server, it seems to be freezing/locking up once a day. I suspect some piece of hardware on it might be going, but i'm not sure what. I ran it through memtest, no errors reported. I also swapped out the OS hard drive (cloned to another drive with clonezilla). That didn't fix it either. I have looked through /var/log/messages, and haven't seen anything out of the ordinary. Are there other log files that I should be looking at?

I have 2 problems here,(second solved) I'll start with the first. Fedora keeps freezing, when I'm at the terminal, and trying to download things, and just on sites in general. I've discussed this with my brother, who knows a considerable amount more than I do on this, he said I had to download Fedora to my hard drive, to fix the problem of the me having to redownload, as with the freezing, We still have not come to conclusion on the freezing.

xine freezes completely and totem freezes when I resize video. Sounds like a library problem.

I loaded Fedora 10 onto my Lenovo T60 last week. everyday i boot it up and it works fine for a few minutes, then freezes. to the point of powering off. my mouse still works but nothing else. i power back up and it generally stays up after that.
Before i had Fedora i was useing PCLinux 2009 and it worked just fine. i get a kernel error alert every once in a while. i finally submitted it to Fedora to be reported. also a flash plugin says it is needed at times but most media plays.
Is there something i'm missing here? like i need to add an additional update? i already updated/installed most Fedora 10 updates.

i'm using fedora 12 on my new EASYNOTE_TJ65-DM-139IT [URL]... from time to time (about one time a day) computer freeze, i cannot use my keyboard, mouse still work (that is: i can move the pointer on the screen) but click on opened windows, button, menu doesn't do nothing. I can't understand what's the problem and how to solve it, all i can do is hardware turn off the computer and reload fedora. This is quite disappointing, hw power off it every day can harm my notebook.

I am using FC13 (2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64) with a ASUS MB/Athlon II X4 CPU for the hardware.Recently my workstation keeps freezing, the power is still on, but the screen goes black,I cannot ping it from other computers on the network, the only thing to do is to press the power switch.
Questions:
* I cannot find any messages in the log, no kernel panic message on the screen, I even installed kdump but no kernel dump is created,does it means it can only be a hardware problem ? I have a vendor kernel module for my NIC and my video card could they cause that kind of problem ?
* I am logging the CPU temp every minutes and I notice that on a few occasion the CPU is close to 70C when the workstation freeze,is 70C too hot for the CPU, is that what CPU do when they reach a temp to high for them to operates ?

I upgraded from FC11 to FC13 last night. The desktop has not been stable since. It will run for anything from 5 to 30 minutes before it locks up. Interesting, if I am already ssh'd in, I can perform commands, but a new SSH will hang, and if I try to SU to root in an already logged in ssh, it hangs.
However, I did finally manage to get the messages that were logged to /var/log/messages at the time of the desktop freeze.
Here are the messages. The first 3 about high speed usb may or may not be relevant. The freeze appeared to happen around the 4th message in the log below.
Code:
Sep 2 13:16:57 starbug kernel: usb 2-4.2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
Sep 2 13:26:38 starbug kernel: usb 2-4.2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
Sep 2 13:31:20 starbug kernel: usb 2-4.2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
Sep 2 13:38:03 starbug kernel: INFO: task jbd2/dm-0-8:558 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
