(SOLVED) Zorin OS 9 lite freeze on video player resize

Hi all,

I have problem with zorin when i want to play videos in gnome mplayer or vlc.
Both programs freeze zorin on resizing the player window.
Sound continues playing in background.
Only thing I can do is to switch to terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F1 and kill proccess from there.
After trying to return to gui system returns to login screen and after logging in the window pops-up with information about internal error.
In details I could see that package xserver-xorg-core causes problem.

My specs

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3600+ 1.9 Ghz
1024 MB Ram
Nvidia Gt 220

Hi and welcome,

do a full system update per the guide and see if you still have problems:

For Nvidia drivers, see this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2490

I would install the 304 drivers but you can install 319!. ;D

I did system update as explained in first section and no help, actually there is nothing to update.
i ran

Code:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-319

but it wont install

Here is the terminal output after running command:

"Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

wine : Depends: wine1.6 but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. "

Hi,

run this command first:

Code:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

then:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f

Restart and try installing your drivers again!.

Code:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-319

I run commands and could not install driver, the output of last command is same, first command gave zero output.
I will try installing 304 driver.

Looks like problem is solved, installed 304 driver and no problems at all when resizing.
Thank you

Glad you are sorted - I always stuck with 304.x which was fine on earlier versions of Zorin (Core I am speaking of), but now I stick with the basic Nouveau drivers - you may also want to install nvidia settings package.

Code:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
