Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Cheese - segmentation fault...

Try another application such as vlc (open capture device, then /dev/video0)
or Kamoso which is the KDE equivalent of Cheese. If it works there then you
can fault Cheese and not the driver/ camera, and then purge Cheese, clean
the cache and download a fresh copy.
