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
