Bug Description

Snap crashes for me when I press the button to take a picture. I am not sure what I did to make it start failing.

I installed some of the older versions of Snap on my system (elementary OS 0.3 Freya Beta 1) and they also crashed, so I'm pretty sure it's some other package I've updated.

I am totally happy to do any diagnosis to resolve the issue.

This is what the terminal shows:

I have installed freya 64bit on my pc. According to the terminal output, it's some kind of problem with drivers.
