cheese webcam don't show video

[Roberto Innocenti]

In the past releases I was able to see the webcam images/video with cheese, but with the last release maverick-20111010.img.xz ,
I see only black screen on cheese and some time it make some snapshot, I can see the falsh light that is on.

I have added my user account even to the audio and video user.

When I start chees from console I can see
this output : MFW_GST_V4LSINK_PLUGIN 2.0.1-1 build on Sep 14 2011 12:20:30.
>>V4L_SINK: Actually buffer status:
                   hardware buffer : 12
                   software buffer: 0

Can you try running "gstreamer-properties" from a shell or some other way, and set the default output sink to "mfw_xvimagesink" and see if it works better?

[Roberto Innocenti (robyinno)]

Yes, I have done now it works at 640x480 res but using preferencies of cheese to change resolution crash use session and come back to login, here the log:

[Matt Sealey (mwsealey)]

The crash is at 192 seconds? Okay that's the graphics driver tearing down but there's no logged cause at all...

[Roberto Innocenti (robyinno)]

Yes I think the crash is at 192 seconds.
