Description Wolfgang Bornath 2012-07-01 01:42:58 CEST
Description of problem:
When I click on "Start recording" the application freezes, last time it even froze the whole system (no input, no SysReq keys). Had to shutdown with power button.

Otherwise cheese works ok, live view, taking pictures. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cheese-3.4.1-1.mga2-x86_64

Reproduced this on 2 different machines with 2 different webcams.

The same here with a
uvcvideo        : Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd.|USB2.0 0.3M UVC WebCam [Video|Video Control]
Mageia 2

And there are missing some icons.

Starting the program in console show this:

$ cheese

Sorry, i messed this up with an other program. Just forget about the icons.
The rest is still valid.

This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life.  If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Mageia 2 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''22 November''. Mageia 2 is no
longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or
bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
