Cheese stopped working

[Vish]

Binary package hint: cheese

Cheese was working on the 2010-03-20 , when i reported a bug [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613421]

But I now notice[since yesterday] cheese does not work properly and shows scrambled colors.

Attaching photo taken.

Note: there has not been any cheese update , but the other updates could have caused this.

gstreamer-properties also does not display the image properly now. Might not be a cheese bug. Not sure which update caused this.

Attaching the extracted cheese debug , the hardwareinformation.log.gz is actually the cheese debug info , which has been named wrongly.

[libihero (libihero)]

[Vish (vish)]

[Vish (vish)]

Adding libgphoto2 package, since it is the closest to a photo/digital package that could have caused the problem

[Vish (vish)]

Odd , the webcam again started working for me.

@ libihero : If you are having the problem still kindly report back

[Vish (vish)]

I'm closing this bug since this problem seems unrelated to cheese and reported Bug #552384 in the linux kernel which might be where the problem lies
