Description of problem: When I import a video into the pitivi, the entire computer freezes, not only the x server or anything. Event the CAPS LOCK or NUM light does not work. The CTLR+ALT+F2 does not work. Sometime, I can drag a video into the media library, but when I add it to the time line, the entire computer also freezes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : pitivi Arch : noarch Version : 0.15.2 Release : 3.fc19 How reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. open pitivi 2. add a new project 3. click the "import file" button or 3. drag a video into the "media library", and preview it. Actual results: The entire computer dies, and nothing work. Expected results: The video can be imported, playback, edited. Additional info:
There is an additional information. Almost every video non-linear editor, such as kdenlive and openshot, cannot work well in Fedora 19. It seems like a problem of the GNOME or GTK video preview function. I mention pitivi here specifically, because it is the only well-know non-linear editor in fedora repo. If you can reproduce the problem and be sure it is a problem of GNOME and GTK, please reassign it for me.
Does it matter what type of video you're importing?
(In reply to Jon Ciesla from comment #2) > Does it matter what type of video you're importing? My apology, I finally found that it is relevant to what type of graphic card driver I use. It works well after changing to Gallium 0.4 on AMD ARUBA. It probably is a bug of proprietary driver.
No worries, if you can reproduce it without the proprietary driver, please reopen.
