Package: cheese Version: 3.26.0-2 Severity: normal When i take a picture with my webcam with cheese, it shows up in the bottom bar as a generic icon, rather than as a thumbnail.
on stderr at the same time, cheese emits: ** (cheese:25393): WARNING **: could not generate thumbnail for /home/dkg/Pictures/Webcam/2017-12-13-205800.jpg (image/jpeg) if i investigate the resulting image with GraphicsMagick, it doesn't complain about any obvious problems: $ gm identify -verbose /home/dkg/Pictures/Webcam/2017-12-13-205800.jpg Image: /home/dkg/Pictures/Webcam/2017-12-13-205800.jpg Format: JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group JFIF format) Geometry: 1280x720 Class: DirectClass Type: true color Depth: 8 bits-per-pixel component Channel Depths: Red: 8 bits Green: 8 bits Blue: 8 bits Channel Statistics: Red: Minimum: 2056.00 (0.0314) Maximum: 63736.00 (0.9725) Mean: 36876.51 (0.5627) Standard Deviation: 15328.91 (0.2339) Green: Minimum: 4883.00 (0.0745) Maximum: 58339.00 (0.8902) Mean: 34839.42 (0.5316) Standard Deviation: 13896.80 (0.2121) Blue: Minimum: 6425.00 (0.0980) Maximum: 65535.00 (1.0000) Mean: 38506.94 (0.5876) Standard Deviation: 13386.76 (0.2043) Filesize: 314.3Ki Interlace: No Orientation: Unknown Background Color: white Border Color: #DFDFDF Matte Color: #BDBDBD Page geometry: 1280x720+0+0 Compose: Over Dispose: Undefined Iterations: 0 Compression: JPEG JPEG-Quality: 85 JPEG-Colorspace: 2 JPEG-Colorspace-Name: RGB JPEG-Sampling-factors: 1x1,1x1,1x1 Signature: 30ad6206ccb4a32ca9aded5aff7d88b3b2d9d8b635f61930b3afd44c5fd841e4 Profile-EXIF: 196 bytes Model: Integrated Camera: Integrated C Software: Cheese 3.26.0 Date Time: 2017:12:13 20:58:00 Exif Offset: 128 Exif Version: 0230 Date Time Original: 2017:12:13 20:58:00 Flash Pix Version: 0100 Profile-XMP: 3053 bytes Tainted: False User Time: 0.020u Elapsed Time: 0m:0.014761s Pixels Per Second: 59.5Mi $ I welcome any suggestions for further debugging. --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'oldstable'), (200, 'unstable-debug'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.13.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages cheese depends on: ii cheese-common 3.26.0-2 ii gnome-video-effects 0.4.3-1 ii libc6 2.25-3 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.30-5 ii libcheese-gtk25 3.26.0-2 ii libcheese8 3.26.0-2 ii libclutter-1.0-0 1.26.2+dfsg-3 ii libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 1.8.4-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.11-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.54.1-1 ii libgnome-desktop-3-12 3.26.2-1 ii libgstreamer1.0-0 1.12.3-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.22.24-3 Versions of packages cheese recommends: pn gvfs <none> pn yelp <none> Versions of packages cheese suggests: pn gnome-video-effects-frei0r <none> -- no debconf information
