This is on a friends pc that I won't have access to. Older nvidia chipset but running nouveau drivers since nvidia-96 drivers are broken in 12.04. Cheese crashes on startup with the following:
$ cheese
(cheese:2927): Gdk-WARNING **: The program 'cheese' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'GLXBadContext'.
(Details: serial 155 error_code 168 request_code 153 minor_code 6)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
