OpenSuSe 11.1 32 bits GNOME
Hi,
I plugged in my webcam and it worked beautifully with luvcview. It also works great with Skype (ekiga doesn’t like it though). I decided to try Cheese to see if I could make it work under it, but when I ran it from a terminal I got this message:
(cheese:6639): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin ‘/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstcacasink.so’: /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstcacasink.so: undefined symbol: caca_dither_bitmap
Immediately followed by color bars displayed on cheese’s window.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
Andres
Nevermind. It is now working, but I had to reinstall my OS
It would have been easier to search “caca_dither_bitmap”. The forum only returns two more results: one of them without answers, and the explanation -> GStreamer Error - openSUSE Forums
…and it’s the first result in Google.
Hi,
I had major problems with my last installation…so I had to reinstall again. Guess what? I have the same issue again.
I followed what you suggested, and though it stopped the message from being displayed on the terminal, cheese won’t work with my webcam… I get the color bars…it’s really infuriating. I installed luvcview which has always worked well with my webcam and it worked well.
I did this lsusb and I do get some strange output at the beginning and then a little bit further down (I didn’t include all the output that pertained my webcam, because it was too long and uneventful).
lsusb -v
