The program is running. Exit anyway? (y or n) Other information:
we fixed quite a few crashes in our newest version, which is 2.23.x. do you mind trying that and see if the crash still remains?
daniel - I have tried packaging the latest development version so that the person who originally experienced this crash on Launchpad can test it. However, it won't build because my version of intltool is too old, so I think I might have to wait until the latest version ends up in to the development branch of Ubuntu. I will then ask the original reporter to test this using a live CD. Thanks
the newest version of intltool is just needed for "make dist". if you can live without, just change the intltool requirement back to your version!
Thanks. I'll give that a try when I get home later.
Thanks daniel - I managed to build 2.23.6 successfully. I will ask the reporter of this crash to test it now.
ok i tested cheese 2.23.6 and it dosen't completely crash anymore but now the preview part of the program freezes after a few seconds.
Shawn, could you please provide a cheese -v output? I see from the other bug that your webcam has got some problem with luvcview too.. Does a simple pipeline like the following work? gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ximagesink and this? gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! xvimagesink Thanks
it did the same thing as cheese after a few seconds it stops working shawn@shawn-laptop:~$ gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ximagesink Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ... Setting pipeline to PLAYING ... New clock: GstSystemClock ERROR: from element /pipeline0/ximagesink0: Output window was closed Additional debug info: ximagesink.c(1069): gst_ximagesink_handle_xevents (): /pipeline0/ximagesink0 Execution ended after 45145551136 ns.
Ok, just to be sure, does the same thing happen with xvimagesink? gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! xvimagesink Could you provide a cheese -v output? Anyway it seems that your issue is not a cheese one.. either belongs to gstreamer or to your video driver. Since v4l2src is quite mature and you reported to have issues with luvcvideo that doesn't use gstreamer I'm more for a uvcvideo (is this your webcam driver?) bug or an hardware problem.
yes the same thing happens with xvimagesink uvcvideo is my webcam driver, i will file a bug report with them. here is the output of cheese -v shawn@shawn-laptop:~$ cheese -v /home/shawn/.themes/Clearlooks-DarkBlue/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:62: Clearlooks configuration option "sunkenmenu" is not supported and will be ignored. /home/shawn/.themes/Clearlooks-DarkBlue/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:63: Clearlooks configuration option "menuitemstyle" is not supported and will be ignored. /home/shawn/.themes/Clearlooks-DarkBlue/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:64: Clearlooks configuration option "listviewitemstyle" is not supported and will be ignored. /home/shawn/.themes/Clearlooks-DarkBlue/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:65: Clearlooks configuration option "progressbarstyle" is not supported and will be ignored.
