Public bug reported: Webcam (Microsoft LifeCam Cinema) works properly in guvcview, but not in cheese on 11.10 32-bit. Worked in cheese on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit.
Opening cheese from the terminal gives the following series of messages: $ cheese (cheese:2740): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkImage to a GtkToggleButton, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkToggleButton can only contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkLabel (cheese:2740): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkImage to a GtkToggleButton, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkToggleButton can only contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkLabel (cheese:2740): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkImage to a GtkToggleButton, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkToggleButton can only contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkLabel (cheese:2740): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkHBox to a GtkButton, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkButton can only contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkLabel (cheese:2740): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkImage to a GtkButton, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkButton can only contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkLabel (cheese:2740): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkHBox to a GtkToggleButton, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkToggleButton can only contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkLabel (cheese:2740): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkImage to a GtkButton, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkButton can only contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkLabel ** (cheese:2740): WARNING **: Could not negotiate format The cheese window opens successfully, but the video is blank (black) and all of the buttons are greyed out. All of the menu entries are greyed out as well, with the exception of: Cheese -> Quit Edit -> Move to Trash Edit -> Move All to Trash Help -> Contents Help -> About It is not even possible to access Preferences to see if changing any options would help.
