Same behavior on my Dell-laptop. Camera works with ucview and also with the following command: "gst-launch v4l2src name=video_source device=/dev/video0 ! gconfvideosink" But cheese-3.2.1-2.fc16.x86_64 shows almost all buttons disabled and instead of a video it shows the message "One or more needed GStreamer elements are missing: identity, main_valve, effects_valve, tee." Same here on Dell desktop with USB webcam: 0c45:62e0 Microdia MSI Starcam Racer Another thing: the camera used to have a blue light when active in Fedora 14. Now in Fedora 16, even when working with ucview, there is no activity light. Tried on another Dell desktop with: 04f2:a133 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd Gateway Webcam This also works in ucview, but not in cheese. However, the active light works, so that is likely a driver problem with the other webcam. Cheese is still broken. Just checked, and Cheese is working again. Cheese has not been updated, but lots of other things have. Not sure which one was the problem. Also, installed GeForce 6200 to replace Intel 82865G graphics, so gnome-shell is working. In any case, the buggy component is likely not cheese! Just got round to testing with this camera again and it is fixed for me. Camera works as it ought to with cheese and with ucview, skype etc. Don't know which update in the last few months fixed this, but thanks! Current versions of packages: kernel-3.3.0-4.fc16.x86_64 cheese-3.2.2-1.fc16.x86_64 ucview-0.33-2.fc15.x86_64 (In reply to comment #6) > Just got round to testing with this camera again and it is fixed for me.
