Description:
cheese attempts to save pictures in the root directory if the XDG_PICTURES_DIR environment variable is not set. This causes a "Permission Denied" error. The message "There was an error playing video from the webcam" is displayed in the image preview area of the GUI. This problem was solved by running `xdg-user-dirs-update'. Additional info: * Full error message: (cheese:10596): cheese-WARNING **: Error while writing to file "/2014-02-22-205225.jpg".: gstmultifilesink.c(653): gst_multi_file_sink_render (): /GstCameraBin:camerabin/GstMultiFileSink:imagebin-filesink: Permission denied Steps to reproduce: Comment out the XDG_PICTURES_DIR line in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, run Cheese, and take a picture. |
