I still think there is a bug, so I updated the description. I also think the status needs to be changed this to "confirmed". It certainly doesn't seem to be "fix released" since nothing was changed.
** Description changed: Binary package hint: cheese + + I see "No device found. Please refer to the help" when I run cheese, + but help does not address the issue anywhere that I could see other that + hinting about running gstreamer-properties. Searching help for the + major symptom ("No device found" banner) yields nothing. There also + seems to be no way to run gstreamer-properties from the menus - yet more + problems for a novice. + + In my case, I needed to hit fn-f10 to turn the camera, and then it + works, but only after exiting cheese and running it again. I figured + that out after finding this bug report. We shouldn't require users to + have good google-fu. + + Please improve the help to suggest what people might want to look around + for in terms of hardware configuration buttons. And fix it so it + detects cameras coming online, or at least provide a reconfiguration + button or tell the user how to easily get it working. + + ---- original bug description ---- Cheese worked fine in lucid, but in maverick, my webcam is no longer detected, with errors about /dev/video0 not being found.
