What were you doing when the application crashed?
Tried to switch between video units in settings. I had just installed Ekiga (Gentoo Linux, kernel 2.6.19-suspend2-r3) and never used it.

It doesn't 100% look like a bug which was fixed (your trace lacks some things), but it probably is : can you reproduce it with 2.0.9 ?

Version 2.0.7 is supposed to be the "stable" version for my arch (amd64). When I force an upgrade to 2.0.9 (and dependencies) the problem goes away (although Video4linux is still not selectable).
/thanks

Comment 3 Snark 2007-04-30 16:43:02 UTC

The last stable version is 2.0.9.

Video4linux is enabled if you install pwlib's v4l plugin (notice your hardware perhaps is v4l2) : it's a configuration issue.

It was probably the bug I thought.
