Can only use cheese once per bootup of computer

[Cory Flick]

Binary package hint: cheese

Source package : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese/2.22.0-0ubuntu2

1. Ubuntu Release : flick@lil-spooky:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04

2. Version of package I'm using : flick@lil-spooky:~$ apt-cache policy cheese
cheese:
  Installed: 2.22.0-0ubuntu2

3. What I expected to happen : that I could open Cheese, take some pictures or record a video stream, close Cheese, do other things with the computer, start up Cheese again and take some more pictures.

4. What happened instead : Cheese starts and runs fine the first time. When closed, then started again, it will start my webcam ( it's little blue light turns on ) but it won't keep the cam on -- light goes off right away, and there's just the multicolored test pattern in the Cheese window. I tried logging out, then logging back in, then starting Cheese again, but that did not help. Completely rebooting will allow me to use Cheese with no issues -- until I close it, and then start it again.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?

Cory, is it possible to test if this issue is still present with Intrepid fully updated or Jaunty?

Thanks in advance.

With a fully updated Intrepid, actually, it seems to be fine/fixed.

Great, can we change the status to fixed then or is that cheeky?

Good luck and have fun all :)
