[Bug 1295247] Re: Cheese says "There was an error playing video from webcam"
Any word on this guys?
I'm getting the same error as everybody else.
I have a Dell XPS 12 - model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4500U
CPU @ 1.80GHz
I'm running Kubuntu 14.04 - 32 Bit
I've run different kernels from the Ubuntu repository with the same
result: (Uname)

The Video Works perfect in VLC, therefor I don't think this is a V4L2
Problem
However, It doesn't work with Cheese, Skype, guvcview
$ cheese
