Bug Description

Binary package hint: cheese

After recording a video , the Start Recording/ Take a Photo button becomes insensitive[disabled]

Steps to reproduce:
1: Record a video
2: Stop recording

Now notice the record/take photo button is not available for recording/ taking photos again.

The video recording has no problems though.

Toggling the photo/video/multiple photos buttons doesnt not help. The buttons just remain disabled

*** Workaround: ***
1 - Click the "Effects" button and return back to the video. [no need to select any effect, Simple toggling of the effect button]
 : Now the option to record/take photos is available.

2 - Use Spacebar to capture video/pictures though, even when the button is disabled.

3 - Restart cheese

Every time a video recording is done , the same workaround has to be repeated.

No such problems with taking photos.

Ok I have tried to upgrade the new packages.
it looks like a lot of the dependencies were not installed
normally I use synaptic or apt-get
this time I pre-downloaded and installed from within mc.

seems like I need: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libgtk2.0-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libcanberra-gtk-dev

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
  cheese: Depends: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.21.6) but it is not installable
  libcanberra-gtk-dev: Depends: libcanberra-dev (= 0.22-1ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed
  libcheese-gtk18: Depends: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.21.6) but it is not installable
  libgstreamer0.10-dev: Depends: libglib2.0-dev but it is not going to be installed
                        Depends: libxml2-dev but it is not going to be installed
  libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.20.1-0ubuntu2) but 2.20.1-0ubuntu3~10.04~ricotz2 is to be installed
                 Depends: libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.21.3) but it is not going to be installed
                 Depends: libpango1.0-dev (>= 1.20) but it is not going to be installed
                 Depends: libatk1.0-dev (>= 1.13.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

so I have to scavenge launchpad for these packages

UndiFineD , It has not yet been uploaded for Ubuntu, bug has been fixed upstream only, we need to get their latest release for this into Ubuntu.

For now , use one of the workarounds mentioned in the bug description.

that is unfortunate, as the mentioned workaround does not work for me
actually my cheese just hangs when I click the effects button.

Any possibility of the fix making its way back into the LTS, there quite a few users affected by this problem above.

David Robert Lewis , Yes, this is probably a good bug to fix in an LTS too.
I'll try to find the upstream commit that fixed this bug and try to get a SRU for Lucid.

This bug was fixed in the package cheese - 2.31.92-0ubuntu1

---------------
cheese (2.31.92-0ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - camera: emit video-saved signal by name in gst threads
    Static camera_signals array is not initizialized in the gstreamer thread
    so we get a critical assertion failed (signal_id > 0) if we emit by id.
    This should workaround the issue. (LP: #587853)
