Open cheese in Gnome (or use gstreamer-properties). 3. Actual results: Green screen (no video input) in cheese. Expected results: Works. Additional info: Works fine on F9.
Thanks for reporting. This is most likely a libv4l issue which has been fixed in libv4l-0.5.2 and newer. So can you first of all try a "yum update libv4l". Yes you can even do this on a system booted from livecd, the updated will get applied and kept in ram (until the next reboot). If that does not fix things can you please on a terminal do: export LIBV4L2_LOG_FILENAME=/tmp/log cheese (Both from the same terminal!) and then after running cheese attach /tmp/log here? Thanks!
I was not aware of the new F10 libv4l package, which is not in the LiveCD. Installing it caused the webcam to work without problems (adding to the confusion, an UVC webcam worked without the package). Thanks a lot, and sorry for the trouble.
