[Bug 877339] [NEW] Totem crashes instantly on start, freezes the whole system

 

Public bug reported:

When trying to launch totem or try to play a video with it, totem
crashes the system completly. There are no other options than a hard
reset (even magic sysrq isn't working). I was not able to get any
further information. When starting totem via terminal, there are no
massages before the crash occours. Totem shows up half blended (seems to
crash while fading in the window).

I'm not using Unity, instead I'm on Gnome-Shell. With Unity from a live-
usb, this does not happen. I've tested totem 3.2 from Ricotz Testing
PPA, the error does not occure with that version.
