Just switched from Ubuntu to Xubuntu in order to ditch unity.
Loving how fast this is. All I have done since doing an entire clean install was updates, then installed the lastest nvidia driver from x-swat ppa (version 304.51 in nvidia x server settings). I also installed xubuntu-restricted-extras as well as any other programs I use.
Now, when trying to run a .mkv that is h.264 encoded with either smplayer, or mplayer from terminal, I get the same error no matter what I try.
Where did I go wrong?
Videos play fine using VX but take up about 50% of my core 2 duo.....

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode video
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
[ This binary of MPlayer in Debian is currently compiled with
'--enable-debug'; the debugging symbols are in the package
'mplayer-dbg'.]
