Last modified: 2008-03-27 16:39:55 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. I open cheese only to see how it is, but I haven't a webcam 2. It crashes because I haven't a webcam instead should appeear a window in which is written: No devices found. 3. this is the debug: (cheese:19163): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_set: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (cheese:19163): GStreamer-WARNING **: Trying to connect elements that don't share a common ancestor: audio_enc and mux (cheese:19163): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_link_pads_filtered: assertion `GST_IS_ELEMENT (dest)' failed (cheese:19163): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_link_pads_filtered: assertion `GST_IS_ELEMENT (src)' failed ** ERROR **: Unable to create video save pipeline aborting... 1c5c4336-a9d3-800b-0cbed533-5fd382bf is dumped Stack trace: Other information:
it seems like you are missing some gst plugins.. could you paste the cheese -v output and see if v4lsrc/v4l2src are installed?
the output of cheese -v is the same that I have posted in the bug report. For the gst plugins, now I have installed all of gst plugins(because I didn't understand which was the plugin that you said) and now cheese works. The plugin that is missed should be a dependence of cheese.
it is.. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 522009 ***
