Comment 0 for bug 1788725

when cheese starts, shortly the view of the webcam is visible and then shows an error.
When run from the command line, the terminal shows:

(cheese:6379): Gtk-WARNING **: 01:08:46.810: Theme parsing error: cheese.css:7:35: The style property GtkScrollbar:min-slider-length is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version

(cheese:6379): cheese-WARNING **: 01:08:48.017: Device '/dev/video0' failed during initialization: gstv4l2object.c(3698): gst_v4l2_object_set_format_full (): /GstCameraBin:camerabin/GstWrapperCameraBinSrc:camera_source/GstBin:bin18/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src1:
Call to TRY_FMT failed for YUYV @ 1280x720: Input/output error

the app shows : there was an error displaying the video ..

The Kamerka app works fine, so it's not a driver issue it seems.
