[Regression] Cheese stops when I try to record a video

[gekid83]

Binary package hint: cheese

When I try to record a video with cheese it stops (block) and i must kill the process. with the old package it worked but not with this.
I use a HP Pavilion Media Center dv9315ea, the webcam is /dev/video0 USB 2.0 Camera.

The OS is Ubuntu 8.10 with cheese 2.24.1-0ubuntu1

I confirm this in 8.10.

This totally hangs when taking a picture or a video.

I made a strace in case this might help.

in my case pictures works well.

Hi, I'm a cheese developer, I really believe this is a duplicate of bug 290506.
I didn't find though any information about your laptop, can you confirm that your webcam uses uvcvideo driver? Could you attach here the output from lsusb and dmesg?

For me, I've got:

[ 1.273919] pci 0000:01:00.0: Boot video device

My webcam is integrated into a Dell monitor.
Might be the bug you talk about.
