Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cheese
Clean install of 64 bit Ubuntu 9.10 all up to date. Installed cheese from synaptic package manager without errors. Cheese is v. 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 (karmic) What is expected: Run cheese off the applications menu without errors. What happened instead: You get an entry in the bottom panel that says "Starting Cheese" that vanishes after a few seconds. The system then slows to a crawl. Opening system manager shows cheese "sleeping" or "zombied" with hundreds of entries with the hard drive running non stop. Opening a terminal, you must enter the command "killall cheese" several times ( at least 7 or 8) quickly until you get the "no process found" error. If you only issue the command once or twice, cheese keeps spawning new entries in system manager. Attempting to start cheese in terminal gives infinite loop of: /home/marty/bin/cheese: line 2: v4l2-ctl: command not found /home/marty/bin/cheese: line 2: v4l2-ctl: command not found /home/marty/bin/cheese: line 2: v4l2-ctl: command not found /home/marty/bin/cheese: line 2: v4l2-ctl: command not found /home/marty/bin/cheese: line 2: v4l2-ctl: command not found This line will repeat until the terminal is closed. If you do a tab complete on v4l2 in terminal, it shows the correct command should be v4l2ctrl NOT v4l2-ctrl ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Jan 21 08:46:18 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release amd64 (20091027) NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: cheese 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-17.54-generic SourcePackage: cheese Uname: Linux 2.6.31-17-generic x86_64 ** Affects: cheese (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug -- cheese fails in 64 bit with infinite loop in terminal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510661 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
