+1 for a "me too". Same as the original problem report, cheese works fine with 640x480 resolution. Selecting any higher resolutions results briefly in a partial, but mostly garbled image in the cheese application window image display region, followed by a black/blank image display region containing only the "There was an error playing video from the webcam" error message. The full text of the relevant error messages I get when launching cheese via terminal are as follows: "libv4l2: error got 4 consecutive frame decode errors, last error: v4l-convert: libjpeg error: End Of Image (cheese:5480): cheese-WARNING **: Failed to allocate a buffer: gstv4l2src.c(866): gst_v4l2src_create (): /GstCameraBin:camerabin/GstWrapperCameraBinSrc:camera_source/GstBin:bin35/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src1" It seems to me that the problem originates in one or more software components that cheese uses and relies upon (gstreamer and/or v4l), and propagates up to the user's face. FWIW, hardware that I'm seeing this with is a Lenovo EasyCamera built-in webcam with usb id = 13d3:5173, but I suspect that does not matter. The problem seams to be corrected on F28 with versions: $ cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 28 (Twenty Eight) $ uname -a Linux r1.ricardoalonso.local 4.17.2-200.fc28.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 18 20:09:31 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ dnf info cheese Last metadata expiration check: 2 days, 20:22:36 ago on Fri 06 Jul 2018 12:40:14 BST. Installed Packages Name : cheese Epoch : 2 Version : 3.28.0 Release : 1.fc28 Arch : x86_64 Size : 423 k Source : cheese-3.28.0-1.fc28.src.rpm Repo : @System From repo : fedora Summary : Application for taking pictures and movies from a webcam URL : https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Cheese License : GPLv2+ Description : Cheese is a Photobooth-inspired GNOME application for taking pictures and : videos from a webcam. It can also apply fancy graphical effects. Should the bug be closed? This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life. On 2018-Nov-30 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '27'. 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 Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 27 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 Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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 Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 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 Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
