[Bug 290506] Re: cheese malfunctioning with UVCVIDEO webcams (was cheese doesn't show v4l2 video output and disables output on gstreamer-based apps ran afterwards)

2008-12-04 Thread atorch
Cheese would not work for me several weeks ago (it would always hang at
startup, without ever displaying an image), but today it functioned
correctly.  The resolution at first was extremely low, but I was able to
increase it without any crash.  Then I tried changing the effects and
cheese stopped responding.  Even if I kill the program and load it
again, it hangs immediately.

Two questions:

1 - I'm fairly certain that cheese hangs at startup because it is trying
to apply effects.  But because it always hangs, I cannot tell it to stop
trying.  Is there any file I can edit to get around this?

2 - Has anyone else encountered this behavior, ie cheese working
correctly so long as no effects are selected?  What might be causing
this and how can it be fixed?

[Bug 187383] Re: System monitor causes Xorg to consume 100% CPU

2008-05-13 Thread atorch
This bug is still a problem for me; it makes the system monitor
useless/unusable, and instead I have to run top in a terminal if I
want to monitor CPU usage.

I have dual-core processors, which seems to be the case with a lot of
the people reporting this bug.

(Now, I don't know if that's because a large fraction of people using
Ubuntu have dual-core processors to begin with, or if dual processors
actually cause the problem.  Is [ Probability( Experience problem given
Dual Processors )  Probability( Experience problem given Single
Processor ) ] ?
