Title:
Device '/dev/video0' is busy
Status in cheese package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
First time I run cheese during the day, an attempt to take a picture
typically results in an error being displayed on a black background in
the preview pane "There was an error playing video from the webcam"
(odd for two reasons, one I'm taking a picture, not video, and two...
it's an error message that indicated something indeed went wrong)
(cheese:2506): cheese-WARNING **: Device '/dev/video0' is busy: gstv4l2object.c(2838): gst_v4l2_object_set_format (): /GstCameraBin:camerabin/GstWrapperCameraBinSrc:camera_source/GstBin:bin18/GstV4l2Src:video_source:

The timer goes off, flash goes off, but no photo is saved in my
~/Webcam directory.
Attempts to take video, or attempts to take a few pictures using root
seem to clear this problem up and after I have done so, cheese seems
to be initialized correctly, and it works fine for awhile.
