Description Thorsten Hirsch 2009-01-05 22:03:26 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Webcam works in gstreamer-properties (v4l2 only), but not in cheese.
It's the following model:
Bus 008 Device 002: ID 0c45:62c0 Microdia Pavilion Webcam

It is attached to /dev/video1, because /dev/video0 is my usb dvb-t stick.

Steps to reproduce:
1. start cheese
2. check the configuration for the correct device (/dev/video1)
3. optional: select a resolution
4. click ok
5. wait or click on "Video"


Actual results:
nothing happens, the gnome foot is still moving

Expected results:
see video

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
Distribution: Ubuntu 8.10
This is the shell output of cheese:

Seems like a know issue. You should be able to fix it upgrading kernel and libv4l from intrepid-proposed repository.
