I updated for 10.04 LTS AMD64 => 12.04 LTS AMD64 in the last few days. Cheese went from working to failing in the way described above: At launch, it took 100% CPU and did not even show a window. This was true with and without my HP USB webcam plugged in.
I wanted to give a useful traceback but the cheese-debsym package is older than the cheese package so I get this error message when trying to install it (another bug, I'd say): cheese-dbgsym : Depends: cheese (= 3.4.1-0ubuntu2) but 3.4.1-0ubuntu2.1 is to be installed I tried the gstreamer command listed in #8. It worked! So: it feels like a cheese bug. Note: the cheese version I have is from updates, 3.4.1-0ubuntu2.1 PS: this machine has a bunch of Hauppauge video tuner cards as well. I don't want cheese to be looking at them and it doesn't seem to be. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/963920 Title: Cheese doesn't start, hangs with 100% CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10/+bug/963920/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
