Steve, ubiquity uses gstreamer directly, not via cheese. cheese is just another example of an application that runs into the same problem.
Does anyone have any realistic proposals on how ubiquity might be made more robust in this specific case? I can't think of anything. It's a gstreamer bug and needs to be fixed there, AFAICS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/966294 Title: Ubiquity loops forever from ubiquity_webcam_play Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “gstreamer0.10” source package in Precise: Confirmed Status in “ubiquity” source package in Precise: New Bug description: Every time I install ubuntu on this hardware with ubiquity it hangs before the camera loads and after clicking continue on the "choose a user" screen.
