[pascal <737261@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I have the same issue.
It happens pretty often.
I usually go around by closing some programs (firefox, virtual box) sometimes that's enough. Otherwise log off / log in always fixes it. 
Interestingly, I was able to reproduce this with a mp3! 
VLC was working with the MP3, whereas with the movie, VLC can read audio but not video.
Totem was closing right after opening the movie or the mp3

I'm trying to get some debugging trace but it's not working. Can you help me? 
I have followed this article http://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace
I have installed totem with debugging symbols 

However after building totem, I think this didn't work as expected:
dpkg -i totem-dbg_2.32.0-0ubuntu10_amd64.deb
(Lecture de la base de données... 231440 fichiers et répertoires déjà installés.)
Préparation du remplacement de totem-dbg 2.32.0-0ubuntu10 (en utilisant totem-dbg_2.32.0-0ubuntu10_amd64.deb) ...
Dépaquetage de la mise à jour de totem-dbg ...
Paramétrage de totem-dbg (2.32.0-0ubuntu10) ...

file /usr/bin/totem
/usr/bin/totem: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped


So I used the totem from the building directory: this one is "not stripped":
file ./debian/totem/usr/bin/totem
./debian/totem/usr/bin/totem: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, not stripped


So I run gdb
gdb ./totem-2.32.0/debian/totem/usr/bin/totem 

But I cannot break on gdk_x_error:
(gdb) break gdk_x_error
Function "gdk_x_error" not defined.


I have tried answering yes to the next question but it's not helping:


Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y
Breakpoint 1 (gdk_x_error()) pending.


(gdb) run 'somemovie.avi' --sync

And I cannot get a stack:

No stack.


I tried also this but it's not giving a lot of information

Any help on how to debug this?


I think it might some kind of memory issue since it often resolves by releasing memory.
The xorg process takes really a lot of RAM.


>From the top command all of my memory seems to be used although I have 8GB and not much running!
Mem:   8191472k total,  8114804k used,    76668k free,   154012k buffers
Swap:  3664892k total,     1236k used,  3663656k free,  3788204k cached


You'll find some memory usage information attached and the pmap on the xorg process:
top
cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
pmap 16629
smem -w



Thanks

Title:
  Totem fails to play anything

Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: totem

  I attempted to play my entire playlist, allowing each file to load artist info, in an attempt to delete songs I often skip. The application closed without an error message, and I have not been able to play files since, although I haven't restarted yet. Totem can open, and I can go through the menus, but it can't play anything, and running it from terminal did not help locate the problem. An example output from Terminal:
  tim@Tim-Desktop-2:~$ totem
