Problems with Cheese

[djorgenson]

This is low-priority, but is anyone else having problems with Cheese? We have not been able to get the video portion of Cheese working, whenever we try to record a video with Cheese it locks up the machine completely.

This has happened on different machines, different makes (Asus EeePC models). Webcam Capture works perfectly, so that is what we have been using.

Thanks!

We had the same issue with Cheese freezing up on video record. I ended up just removing Cheese from the menu to prevent folks from accidentally crashing the computer. I am going to try WebCam toy (a chrome web app) as an alternative for fun photos.
