Public bug reported:
## Summary:
Cheese finds different webcams when run as "cheese" and "sudo cheese"
## Expected:
When running cheese without sudo, preferences->webcam lists all my
cameras, once each.
## Actual:
When running cheese without sudo, only the external camera is found, and
it is listed twice.
When running cheese with sudo, all cameras are found - and also listed
twice.
## Details:
Running normally, under preferences->webcam, cheese lists:
- CameraA (V4L2)
- CameraA (V4L2)
(Yes it lists the same camera twice.)
Running cheese with sudo, the same dropdown contains:
- Integrated Camera: Integrated C
- Integrated Camera: Integrated I
- CameraA
- Integrated Camera: Integrated C
- Integrated Camera: Integrated I
- CameraA
Again, it lists every camera twice (And for some reason strips "(V4L2)"
from the name of the external camera)
## Machine information
lsb_release -rd: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS
Cheese version: 41.1-1build1 500
Running lshw with/wihtout sudo also results in two different lists -
without sudo, only CameraA is found. With sudo, the integrated camera
appears.
(Unfortunately, ubuntu-bug is weird on pop!_os or I'd report through
there)
