Cheese fails to get any content from my laptop integrated webcam. The image area that would normally show what the camera is seeing is just a blank rectangle. During this, the LED light next to the webcam turns on to say the camera is operating. 'Camera Monitor' also pops up with a notification saying that the camera is on. It was working fine in 8.04.1.
Also, when I try to quit cheese using the menu, I have to force-quit using the 'force-quit' gnome applet to kill the window and then run 'pkill cheese' to kill it completely and turn off the camera.
