Ubuntu 12.04 Cheese Problem

[burkehodgson]

Cheese no longer activates my webcam in 12.04. I get the following message when I try to run Cheese from a terminal



(cheese:9145): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkImage to
a GtkButton, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkButton can only contain one widget at
a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkLabel


Similar programs to Cheese work fine, as does Skype, so its no big deal .. but I LIKE Cheese !!!

Anybody know how to fidget with widgets ??

Many Thanks

Burke

If me. I would completely remove cheese with apt-get then apt-get update next then reinstall cheese with apt-get.

sudo apt-get --purge remove cheese

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install cheese

This may or may not work. And they say Ubuntu is a stable distro.

I don't use cheese in AntiX. guvcview works for me just as fine as cheese.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/guvcview

to find it in Ubuntu

apt-cache policy guvcview

to install

apt-get install guvciew

Happy trails, rok
