libv4l and my webcam have crashed gstreamer-properties, cheese, and skype. Gstreamer-properties crashes with this:
(gstreamer-properties:2972): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: Failed to deactivate pad v4l2src5:src, very bad. Subsequent attempts to use the webcam show this: gstreamer-properties-Message: Error running pipeline 'Video for Linux 2 (v4l2)': Cannot identify device '/dev/video0'. [v4l2_calls.c(493): gst_v4l2_open (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src1: system error: No such file or directory] And somehow, after some time, /dev/video1 is created, and if I selected it works, for a time. When *that* crashes, again, somehow, after some time, /dev/video0 exists again, and it "works". On skype the video crash happened within the minute. My HW: Aspire One 535h, Acer crystal eye webcam.
