@Robert Hrovat : I'm noticing the same behavior too , but in my built-in webcam [laptop] Sometimes the cam doesnt work and sometimes on reboot , it does work... But it is a not a bug in cheese since even when i test the webcam in gstreamer-properties , it shows the same problem [as you mention above with emesene]
And I'm not sure where the exact problem is either. But I'v found this in the messages logs whenever the cam doesnt work: laptop kernel: [ 33.341883] usb 1-8: USB disconnect, address 2 laptop kernel: [ 33.342067] gspca: disconnect complete Seems it might be a linux problem hence i'v reported Bug #552384 , do mention on the bug if you notice any such messages in the logs[ /var/log/messages ] I'm closing this bug as fixed in cheese ** Changed in: cheese (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- No video displayed and UI hangs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298545 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
