[Bug 1445039] Re: Device '/dev/video0' is busy
rhwlo's workaround partially fixes the issue, but apparently only for the first picture taken within the session. The second picture will fail again with the exact same message. When I create a new session (using su - `whoami`) it works fine for one picture, but a second try will not, and apparently it doesn't matter wether or not I restart cheese. As soon as I close that session and create a new one, it works fine - for a single picture. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1445039 Title: Device '/dev/video0' is busy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese/+bug/1445039/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I ran into the same problem, and checked out the permissions on /dev/video0: crw-rw+ 1 root video 81, 0 Aug 22 11:14 /dev/video0 I also ran $(groups) to check my group membership and found that I wasn't in the group video. To rectify this, I ran $(sudo usermod -a -G video `whoami`), and after logging out and back in, I could use cheese normally again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1445039 Title: Device '/dev/video0' is busy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese/+bug/1445039/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@andrea: it isn't a reliable workaround, but sometimes it seems to work.

«attempts to take a few pictures using root seem to clear this problem up» If you mean you run it with sudo, this does not work for me as workaround.
