Hi! I had exactly the same problem on jaunty (Dell Mini 9). I solved it by installing gstreamer0.10-alsa that is not in the list of dependences of cheese (see http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/cheese). After this cheese works well (at small screen resolutions).
mk P.S. I am using Alsa only, no Pulse audio. -- Video recording hangs cheese, disables camera https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/414451 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
