Re : [Bug 377996] Re: Cheese crashes when recording video in Jaunty
The symptoms I had where different but seem to be related to the same cause. In my case I fixed the bug fiddling around with the alsa settings until it no longer hanged. Now it works properly. Your problem seems to be audio related as well. What I did to fond what to fix was that I installed a different video recorder program that I had to compile myself (cant remember the name...) that could record video even when audio failed. There I played with the audio settings until I found what to use, then put the same settings in the alsa conf. -- Cheese crashes when recording video in Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377996 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
