Then, if you forgot to kill it, you run out of ram and out of swap: http://ompldr.org/vZTk4Ng

Probably the same issue that kept g-c-c from starting. Are you using the open-source ATI drivers?

Comment by Giuseppe De Luca (pep1ko) - Saturday, 16 June 2012, 13:50 GMT

No.
I am using NVIDIA driver 295.59.

I tried with nouveau but it's the same.

Same symptoms for me :
lenovo laptop, integrated camera
kernel 3.4.2-1-ARCH, cheese 3.4.2 with intel drivers for integrated chipset.

Thinkpad X220t, can't reproduce.

Comment by Bathizte (bathizte) - Wednesday, 27 June 2012, 17:22 GMT

Thinkpad X121e for me.

I'm not sure it is an Arch-related problem, since I found a Ubuntu-related report : http://askubuntu.com/questions/118206/cheese-wont-start.

However, I found an exact match to my error message in this bug report, so until I haven't some clues it is an upstream revelant problem, I'll file some things here. Please Jan do not take them personnaly. Not to say I hate the bugzilla tracker and find myself home with flyspray, no.

My current guess that it has to deal with non-complete gnome environments. I run myself a minimalist Arch-Xorg-AwesomeWM box. Just to say.

However, I tried an strace and a --debug-level=4 and did not find any relevant info actually, Do you Jan know any mean to have some more clues about this ?

You could try running cheese using gdb, wait a moment (to confirm it hung) and then break into the program (ctrl+c in gdb) and look at the state of the threads (thread apply all bt full).

Still same problem :(

We need to wait until gnome 3.6?

Got this error : Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vdso.so.1. ?!

Maybe a debug package could help a little ?

Frederic, in your case do you have the cheese ui appearing ?

In my case I have a blank window, see my screen attached.

I also joined the backtrace, maybe someone will find something I missed. See the 8.2K version because Flyspray did not let me remove previous version.
