--- Begin Message ---Package: cheese Version: 2.30.1-2 Severity: normal I launched cheese via Applications > Sound & Video > Cheese Webcam Booth A blank window appeared with the title bar of "Cheese", but nothing happened in it. When i clicked the window-manager-provided "x" in the corner of the title bar, i get a dialog box that says: =============== Cheese is not responding. You may choose to wait a short while for it to continue or force the application to quit entirely. [Force Quit] [Wait] =============== Note that this machine has no video camera attached. Choosing "wait" does nothing. If i Force Quit, and then re-launch cheese, i get the expected "no" symbol, with the warning label that says "No device found". So it appears to be something about the first attempt to open Cheese on a system with no video camera. --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages cheese depends on: ii cheese-common 2.30.1-2 Common files for the Cheese tool t ii gstreamer0.10-plugins- 0.10.30-1 GStreamer plugins from the "base" ii gstreamer0.10-plugins- 0.10.24-1 GStreamer plugins from the "good" ii gstreamer0.10-x 0.10.30-1 GStreamer plugins for X11 and Pang ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.10-6 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcanberra-gtk0 0.24-1 Gtk+ helper for playing widget eve ii libcheese-gtk18 2.30.1-2 A tool to take pictures and videos ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.88-2.1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgconf2-4 2.28.1-6 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-desktop-2-17 2.30.2-2 Utility library for loading .deskt ii libgstreamer-plugins-b 0.10.30-1 GStreamer libraries from the "base ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.30-1 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgudev-1.0-0 164-3 GObject-based wrapper library for ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.3-1+squeeze2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii librsvg2-2 2.26.3-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG Versions of packages cheese recommends: ii gnome-icon-theme 2.30.3-2 GNOME Desktop icon theme ii gvfs 1.6.4-3 userspace virtual filesystem - ser cheese suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
