I have this problem too with my new webcam (I bought it today : logitech C270).
The unity or gnome-shell or xfce session is killed very very fast each time I want to read the webM videos that I've recorded with cheese. reading wmv videos kill session too. Trying to capture a video using vlc 2 ... or starting guvcview (1.5.2) kill the session immediately. Cheese is the only one which work. The only way to read the webm videos is to use firefox 12 beta 4 (HTML5 reader). Sorry ... I can't tell you if it's a regression cause I did not use my previous webcam during few months. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/937347 Title: gnome-session restarts when I try to play videos To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/937347/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
