GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 623168
slideshow freezes computer
Last modified: 2015-12-17 15:46:29 UTC
I can't run the slideshow on either of my development systems (F13, with on-motherboard Intel graphics). On one system (which runs compiz fine), the entire computer freezes when I start a slideshow. On the other system (which doesn't run compiz, due to a lack of 3D support), I get a frozen screen, but I can use CtrlAlt+F2 to bring up a console to kill gthumb. These are probably xorg driver issues, but I thought I would report it anyway. I haven't found a way to collect useful information about the problems, however. - Mike
as a workaround to this issue, if no transition effect is set the non-clutter slideshow is used.
