[Bug 507180] Re: 9.04 Screen goes blank while play paused, but mouse appears

 

Thank you for helping to improve Mythbuntu by taking the time to open
this ticket.


 I am closing this ticket for the following reasons:


1. It is missing symbol information needed to help debug the issue

2. QT related functions were totally re-written with QT4 for 0.22, so it
is likely this is fixed

3. There are no other reports of this issue

4. This issue would need to be reproduced on 0.22 with a new stack
trace since the mythtv developers are no longer working on 0.21 issues


If you can reproduce this on 0.22, please attach traces to a new
ticket and we can try to forward this bug upstream to get the right
eyes focused on it. We have builds of mythtv 0.22 available on a PPA to
test. Please follow the directions at http://mythbuntu.org/auto-builds to enable them.


WARNING: If you think that you may want or need to revert back to
0.21 after testing, you will need to back up your database before
upgrading. Once you upgrade, the only method to down-grade is to
perform a database restore from your backup.

Bug description:
When playing recorded TV, I occasionally need to pause the play-back, to do something.

After some time, the mouse appears on the screen, & the picture slowly fades to blank (black).  This is not the same as when the blank "screen-save" is activated because I am not watching anything & haven't used any functions for a while; in this case, any button push will "wake it up".

This problem only happens some times, possibly dependent on the length of time that pause has been on.  It has happened perhaps 6 times in the 8 months since I have been using 9.04.

The mouse can be moved freely around the screen, but there are no fields to click on.

There are no error messages.

Neither escape, not ctl/alt/del have any effect, so I can't regain control of the PC.  So far, my only solution has been to reboot the system.  This is often not ideal, as Myth would probably have been in the middle of recording a program.

When the system reboots, & I select the same recording, it starts at the beginning, regardless of how far I had reached in watching it.
