Comment 23 for bug 428884

Reinhard,

I did the test again, following these steps:

1) I was using this version of gnome-screensaver:

$ apt-cache policy gnome-screensaver
  Instalado: 2.28.0-0ubuntu2
  Candidato: 2.28.0-0ubuntu2
  Tabela de versão:
 *** 2.28.0-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

2) Then I downloaded the version of the PPA:

$ ls gnome*
gnome-screensaver_2.28.0-0ubuntu1+motumedia1_amd64.deb

3) I installed it with the command:

$ sudo dpkg -i gnome-screensaver_2.28.0-0ubuntu1+motumedia1_amd64.deb

4) Confirmed the installation:

$ apt-cache policy gnome-screensaver
gnome-screensaver:
  Instalado: 2.28.0-0ubuntu1+motumedia1
  Candidato: 2.28.0-0ubuntu2
  Tabela de versão:
     2.28.0-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
 *** 2.28.0-0ubuntu1+motumedia1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

5) Rebooted. (I didn't do that in the previous test)

6) And then it WORKED! For the first time I could watch a movie using VLC in Karmic.

Thanks a lot!
