    Miro shuts down when trying to play a file

    After the upgrade to jaunty, miro shuts down each time I try to play a file.

    I google a bit and a couple of people apparently fixed the problem by removing some old repository. I believe that is not my case since I don't have any third party repository besides skype.

    Here's my sources.list if necessary:

    http://pastebin.ca/raw/1420767

    Here's the error message I get when I run miro from the console.

    Code:
    The program 'miro.real' received an X Window System error.
    This probably reflects a bug in the program.
    The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
      (Details: serial 134 error_code 11 request_code 132 minor_code 19)
      (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
       that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
       To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
       option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
       backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

    Any tips?


    EDIT:
    Ok, turns out that is not only miro. I've tryed to open a file with VLC and got this error message:

    Code:
    [????????] x11 video output error: X11 request 132.19 failed with error code 11:
     BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
    X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
      Major opcode of failed request:  132 (XVideo)
      Minor opcode of failed request:  19 ()
      Serial number of failed request:  81
      Current serial number in output stream:  82

    Re: Miro shuts down when trying to play a file

    I have the exact same problem any workaround would be great

    Code:
    The program 'miro.real' received an X Window System error.
    This probably reflects a bug in the program.
    The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
      (Details: serial 127 error_code 11 request_code 132 minor_code 19)
      (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
       that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
       To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
       option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
       backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
    EDIT:I forgot that i had an intel integrated graphics card i am doing the steps provided on the sticky HOWTO: Jaunty Intel Graphics Performance Guide maybe that will help you

    I may give that a try.
    I mean, I have no idea what kind of graphics card this laptop has inside. How do I check that?

    type

    sudo lshw

    into the terminal, and the graphics card should be listed. post that listing here, and it can be faced full on.
