[Bug 1196353] Re: Video-out on an Empathy Call Goes to Static After ~5 mins

 

christopherbalz, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc6

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Video-out on an Empathy Call Goes to Static After ~5 mins

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Full system logs attached.   How this happens: Using Empathy, I start
  a video call (on a gtalk i.m. network, for example). Video out on my
  machine is fine for about three to five minutes. Then it goes to
  completely garbled/static. Video in (video from the other machine)
  stays working fine.

  Same thing happens actually under Skype on Ubuntu. So the issue is
  likely not specific to Empathy.

  However, it clearly has something to do with an underlying problem on
  the system.

  I've been told that vl4 might be a good place to look to debug this,
  but I don't know what steps to take to do so.
