And the version of the cheese is cheese 3.0.1. when i opened the application my hpwebcam is activated ( side flash light is getting started ). But i couldn't see the picture what should i do for this problem. i screenshot of the application is attached with this comment
I can see from the screenshot that you are using fallback mode, which probably means that your computer does not have working hardware 3D acceleration. This is required by Clutter, which Cheese uses for effects. Bug 654913 was recently fixed, which checks whether Clutter was initalised correctly, and exits with an error message if there was a problem. Unfortunately, this fix will be in version 3.2.0, and will probably not be included in a 3.0 version of Cheese. Can you run Cheese from a terminal to see if you get any error message from Clutter? To start a terminal: 1. Start the ‘Terminal’ application (the icon is on your desktop) 2. Type ‘cheese’ into the terminal and press return 3. Copy any error messages into this bug report If Clutter could not be initialised, then Cheese will not work with your computer, sorry!
I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 (x86) . I installing Cheese 3.2 from official Ubuntu repository. Additionaly i installed: * gir1.2-cheese-3.0 * v4l-utils * v4l-conf * v4l-ucp * libv4l-0 Cheese see my webcam (flash blue point near webcam): tomasz@TOSHIBA-NB500:~$ dmesg |grep video pci 0000:00:02.0: Boot video device Linux video capture interface: v2.00 uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device CNF9055 (04f2:b1d6) usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo but i don't see picture (only blank screen).

Tomasz, as your issue is different to the original reporter, please file a new bug. The warnings about GtkButton images are expected, and due to bug 656989.
