I spent an afternoon messing around with this - AND I FIGURED OUT THE FIX. the package "gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio" is not listed as a dependency for cheese, but without it the whole program crashes while complaining about jack server.
After installing gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio, cheese behaves as it should for me. I will be filing a separate bug, and referencing this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1062282 Title: cheese crashed with SIGSEGV in __GI___libc_free() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cheese/+bug/1062282/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
