Package: cheese Version: 2.22.3-3 Followup-For: Bug #479270 I have a very similar problem. It started happening after the first major update of Lenny (5.0.1). On a fresh boot, cheese will fail to start my webcam (UVC - logitech quickcam pro for notebooks 046d:0991). If I close and open cheese again, it will display my webcam, but the menus and buttons appear blank. There is a 'Take a Photo' button that's easy to guess where it is, so if I click on the blank area where the button used to be, it works. It takes the pictures and suddenly the menus and buttons are back.
A very similar problem happens to me using skype. Everything works fine, except that when either the recipient of the call or myself activate the webcam, the buttons and menus in the call window dissapear. In the case of skype, they only re-appear when no webcam is in use. I searched the logs for any helpful information and this is what I found: uvcvideo: Failed to query (1) UVC control 1 (unit 0) : -110 (exp. 26). compat_ioctl32: VIDIOC_S_PARMioctl32(skype:3985): Unknown cmd fd(35) cmd(c0cc5616){t:'V';sz:204} arg(f5fe6dc0) on /dev/video0 -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cheese depends on: ii gconf2 2.22.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii gstreamer0.10-plugins- 0.10.19-2 GStreamer plugins from the "base" ii gstreamer0.10-plugins- 0.10.8-4.1~lenny2 GStreamer plugins from the "good" ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.20-2 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.22.0-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.22.0-1 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-7 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-5+lenny1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.76-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libebook1.2-9 2.22.3-1.1+lenny1 Client library for evolution addre ii libedataserver1.2-9 2.22.3-1.1+lenny1 Utility library for evolution data ii libgconf2-4 2.22.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.20.1.1-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.20.1.1-2 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.22.0-5 GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgstreamer-plugins-b 0.10.19-2 GStreamer libraries from the "base ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.19-3 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.12-1~lenny1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libhal1 0.5.11-8 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii liborbit2 1:2.14.13-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.5-5 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.14-4 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii librsvg2-2 2.22.2-2lenny1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Session Management library ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-5 GNOME XML library ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 XFree86 video mode extension l cheese recommends no packages. cheese suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
