[Bug 1295247] Re: Cheese says "There was an error playing video from webcam"

 

The problem still happens in Ubuntu 15.04.

The error message I got when tried to run cheese: 
(cheese:2693): cheese-WARNING **: Failed to allocate a buffer: gstv4l2src.c(755): gst_v4l2src_create (): /GstCameraBin:camerabin/GstWrapperCameraBinSrc:camera_source/GstBin:bin18/GstV4l2Src:video_source

My kernel version is: 3.16.0-031600-generic
