OpenSUSE :: Cheese Does Not Start?
Apr 21, 2011
It worked perfectly at installation (11.4 x86_64). I don't remember when it
began to fail. I added Packman repository. This are the messages that I get
when I run it from Konsole:
(cheese:13024): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_bin_add_many: assertion
`GST_IS_ELEMENT (element_1)' failed
(cheese:13024): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_link_many: assertion
`GST_IS_ELEMENT (element_1)' failed
** ERROR **: Unable to create display pipeline aborting...

I am trying to record a test video with my built-in webcam, using Cheese. However, after I click "Start recording," the Cheese screen turns black, and Cheese seems to hang. I can click "Stop recording" sometimes -- then I get a split-second video clip. But mostly it just hangs until I force quit.
I'm on an Asus 900HA. I could record video clips on using eeebuntu and Cheese. Is there a setting I need to check?

OpenSUSE seems to have an issue picking up and working with my newer webcam. This webcam does work with linux, it works with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid and Linux Mint 9 Isadora but openSUSE 11.3 doesnt seem to like it. Information about webcam drivers seems to be missing now, I tried the drivers repo but no luck. Cheese freezes and WXcam comes up with a green screen with no video. This is a gateway product by my understanding but it seems to be linux compatible, especially with the Linux 2.6.34 kernel that both Ubuntu and openSUSE use right now. But for some reason its not quite clicking with openSUSE 11.3

webcam is listed if I do "lsusb" in a terminal, but no software recognises it at all.
I cannot get cam to be recognised by Cheese, aMSN, Empathy or emesen.
Trying to work out if its a prob with my cam or whether there are still probs with using cams on Linux.

On my new Fedora 15 installation the Cheese application crashes when I start it with the following error message:
Code:
(cheese:32394): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter: Unable to find suitable fbconfig for the GLX context
(cheese:32394): Clutter-WARNING **: Unable to create a new stage: the glx backend does not support multiple stages.

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Note that my web camera works properly when doing the video for linux gstreamer-properties test as well as with Skype. I have the NVIDIA driver installed from RPM Fusion.

My aspire 4745 laptop has a in-built webcam, so i installed Cheese to use it. Cheese starts and the webcam works at first instance. But it doesnot shows any thumbnails for taken pictures nor it saves any picture (I have checked everywhere for the images, inside and beyond my home folder). I am lost - if the wen cam can take a picture, why cannot save it?

For some reason while Cheese will take photos with my webcam there's no photo stream and it doesn't save photos to my /home/jonquil/Pictures/Webcam directory. Does anyone know of a way to fix this, or is there another application I can use to take photos?

I can't find a way to use cheese in lucid. When I start it, it immediately starts flashing photos in countdown mode and repeats. I can't find a way to stop it except to use the hardware Fn-Esc to disable the webcam.
Because of the intermittent flashing and countdown 3-2-1 screens, I can't hit any buttons or menus.

I just tried Cheese on my netbook after upgrading to 10.10. And is barely functional, since it's too slow. I know a netbook is not very fast, but it should be fast enough for this.
Is there any settings or anything that might fix this?

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. I can't seem to get skype to work. See, the person I'm chatting with can receive video and audio, I can receive audio, but I cannot see them, even when they engage their webcam.
My cheese can take pictures from my webcam, but I can't see the screen of the webcam before I take the picture, it's only black, and when I click on the take the picture, it'll take it, and display it correctly, but the screen is black. Now, I just dled camorama, but it's saying "Could not connect to video device C/dev/video0). please check connection." I don't know what this means.
My lsusb says:
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub[code]....
The Ricoh Webcam is a built in cam, but it doesn't work either. I have an external cam that used to work, but the cam works, it's just the display that seems effed up.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop with a built-in webcam. I installed Cheese months ago and it worked fine then -- pics, videos, the works.
Now, after some updates recommended by Canonical, Cheese is telling me that it can't find the webcam. I tried dumping it an reinstalling, but to no avail.
Anyone out there know what's going on? Did the updates knock out a hardware driver?

I have a sony vaio laptop model VGN-S2370P with an integrated webcam. I wondered what I needed to do so that I could use the webcam. I already have Cheese installed but it cannot detect the webcam. Is there any driver I need to install or something like that? On windows everything works perfect.

I am successfully using Lucid with either motion or cheese and a Logitech web cam. Is there either:
a) A way to use cheese and motion at the same time, or
b) An application that shows a live image and will record when the image changes?

I just picked up a Microsoft LifeCam Cinema usb webcam. I installed cheese & it takes pictures just fine & records video as long as the mic isn't enabled. However, if go to System-Preferences-Sound and change my input to the mic on the webcam cheese will not record video. When I start recording the window goes black & i have to force quit cheese. I tested the mic with Sound Recorder & it works. There's nothing in the cheese preferences to change & i don't know where else to start looking.

Linux- openSuse 11.1
Am I trying to make a few modifications to 'Cheese.' When I run the ./configure command the only program that I am having a problem installing is libebook-1.2. The Yast function has found everything but libebook. I went out to find a RPM, got one from [URL] and [URL]. Every install I try has only led to errors. I have had multiple errors. Now when I download a file, it will not do an auto-install. I have also tried rpm -i package. no such luck there either.

Cheese works sucessfully with my webcam, but the stuff it records in .ogg is pukeish of quality. I have a dual core high performance laptop and am wondering if there is no way to crank up the resolution or lessen the compression on the videos that get saved for higher quality. Cheese seems to have no settings whatsoever.

To change where Cheese stores photos/videos you have to change it in gconf-editor.under /app/cheese...But it's missing. What am I missing?

I'm having a problem using cheese to record video from my webcam. The image is extremely slow to update. Especially when there is lots of movement it sometimes freezes for about a second.
When I use the webcam in Skype it works fine. Does anybody have a clue what might cause this and better yet, how to fix it.

back when I was Windows Vista (the pre-installed OS on my laptop), whenever I would activate my webcam through skype, I separate program would also initiate. This program would give me the ability to alter the image, like black and white, fish-eye, etc.Is there anyway to get skype to activate cheese webcam so I can use its effects?

I recorded audio and video (singing and playing guitar) with Cheese and Ubuntu Karmic 9.1. The video (and audio) came out pretty well (except for the typical cheese delay), but I want to upload to ...... How can I convert the ogv to something for .....? Devede doesn't do it for me, and I've tried every method out there. What do I need to do - Convert it to ogg, and then use ffmpeg? How ridiculous that I can't upload an ogv file to ......
