Description Len Lawrence 2015-05-11 11:03:47 CEST

Description of problem:
The GNOME desktop was installed from an ISO on USB for QA tests.  cheese had been tested on KDE and Mate in earlier tests and had worked fine.  On GNOME it launches momentarily then segfaults while accessing libjpeg.  The webcam picture flashes up momentarily before the crash.  From the description in the source RPM it appears that "gstreamer-backend" is used for "fancy graphical effects" or does that mean "the gstreamer backend"?  Note that the image, as far as I could detect in a split second, looks OK but without window decorations (?).  Might be worth looking at gstreamer - correct version used and all that and also check how it integrates with KDE.

See tail-end extracts from dmesg in the attachment.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.14.2-1

How reproducible:
Always on GNOME before and after reboots, error not seen on other desktops.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install GNOME from classic DVD
2. Launch from desktop or from command line
3.


Reproducible:

Bringing that back up as it still seg faults in M6.
Both in KDE ( Plasma ) and Gnome.

Comment 3 William Kenney 2016-04-12 20:05:53 CEST

M6:
I saw the updates in the repo today and it looks like
Cheese does in fact work both in Gnome and Plasma.
How about you Lawrence?

Comment 4 Len Lawrence 2016-04-12 22:55:08 CEST

Had forgotten about that one.  Will try it if I can find a GNOME system around here.
Thanks Bill.

Comment 5 Len Lawrence 2016-04-12 23:21:29 CEST

Yep.  Logged in to GNOME on a QA system and sure enough cheese is OK, and the same for Plasma.

I'll check it on a 32-bit Vbox client then.

Comment 7 Len Lawrence 2016-08-17 19:39:40 CEST

This seems to be out-of-date now.  Time to close it?

Comment 8 Rémi Verschelde 2016-08-29 11:04:33 CEST

Closing.
