Archisman Panigrahi, regarding your Logitech C170 webcam specifications
from http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/webcam-c170 it makes
sense why your webcam doesn't work on 1024x768 or 800x640, as it doesn't
support those specific resolutions.

Hence, to further narrow this down, regarding your Bug Description:
>"This never happened in any previous versions of Ubuntu."

This is too vague. Are you stating Cheese played these unsupported
resolutions anyways, different resolutions were advertised, something
different?

** Summary changed:

- Cheese says "There was an error playing video from webcam"
+ [Logitech C170] Cheese says "There was an error playing video from webcam"

** Attachment removed: "gdb with cheese"
