Comment 7 for bug 1290099

I was able to fix the error by installing some libwayland packages:

    sudo apt-get install libwayland-dev-lts-trusty libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-trusty

Cheese was working fine for me a few weeks ago, so I'm not sure how these became uninstalled or why the cheese package didn't require them. My only guess is that I had been using the Nouveau video driver and switched to Nvidia because Nouveau doesn't support suspend/resume on my laptop.

Now when I launch Cheese, it runs, but reports:

    There was an error playing video from the webcam
