Cheese unable to find my webcam - SiGma Micro - SIGMACHIP - Webcam

[Brian Buchanan]

When I run cheese it says No device found in the main program window.
The following error is displayed when I run cheese from the terminal.
** (cheese:4655): WARNING **: cheese-window.vala:1258: Error: No device found

Skype, Stopmotion and VLC using 'vlc v4l2:///dev/video0' all find the camera and display an image.

Could you please try to reproduce this on latest version from repositories?

If the issue still occurs, could you please post the output of 'lspci' command here?

I ran the latest version of cheese (3.3.90) in ubuntu 12.04 but nothing opened up.
Running cheese from a terminal I get the following:

Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkImage to a GtkToggleButton, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkToggleButton can only contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkLabel

Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkImage to a GtkToggleButton, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkToggleButton can only contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkLabel

Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkImage to a GtkToggleButton, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkToggleButton can only contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkLabel

Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkImage to a GtkButton, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkButton can only contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkLabel

Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkGrid to a GtkToggleButton, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkToggleButton can only contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkLabel

Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkImage to a GtkButton, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkButton can only contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkLabel

  Then the terminal just sits as if the progam is running but the cheese gui does not appear.

If I try to run another instance of cheese from another terminal while the first one is still running after a short pause I get:
Error: Timeout was reached

I have attached the output of lspci.

Attached is my backtrace of cheese.

Also cheese seems to keep using up ram when it is run, at one point it was at 3.2GB.

[Vadim Rutkovsky (roignac)]

This is a problem in gstreamer.

Could you please do the following:
1) Install 'libgstreamer0.10-0-dbg' package
2) Create a new backtrace using instructions from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash
3) File a new report on 'gstreamer' package with backtrace attached

I'm closing this report as Invalid as original problem has been fixed and new problem is related to gstreamer
