2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 06:42:44 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux cheese: Installé : 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 Candidat : 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 May be related the bug 203767. Do you have high cpu load? Can you give the link to the gnome bug report? It is possible that it is a kernel problem not a cheese problem? -- the webcam is still on after Cheese is closed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292980 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
