I noticed this bug happening also on opensuse since 2011, and there is this thread concerning fedora: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=273142
So, the problem is upstream for sure Since it also affects skype, I think the problem may lie in libv4l (don't know why it doesn't affect gstreamer-properties, google talk plugin, vlc and other programs) I'm currently using ubuntu precise 12.04... and the problem changed slightly: now cheese gets the first frame from the webcam, and then gets stuck and unresponsive for 1,2 minutes... after that it works fine (without having to manually change the resolution) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/796471 Title: No image is displayed when cheese starts with resolution set to 640x480 with isight webcam To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese/+bug/796471/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
