Comment 0 for bug 1967843

The cheese application produces a corrupted display under Ubuntu 22.04 with a Logitech C525 webcam. When started from the command line, cheese produces repeated warnings of the form...

(cheese:4175): cheese-WARNING **: 05:15:48.706: A lot of buffers are being dropped.: ../libs/gst/base/gstbasesink.c(3143): gst_base_sink_is_too_late (): /GstCameraBin:camerabin/GstViewfinderBin:vf-bin/ClutterGstVideoSink:cluttergstvideosink0:
There may be a timestamping problem, or this computer is too slow.

Adding /etc/modprobe.d/uvcvideo.conf

with 'options uvcvideo nodrop=1' doesn't solve the problem. This issue is not seen in either Ubuntu 21.10 or under Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-36_Beta-1.4. The problem in Ubuntu 22.04 occurs under both Wayland and X11 displays with the Nvidia drivers.
