FS#407 - "Webcam-Viewer" malfunction

Hello!

I’m running 1.9.29-Compiz.
The System HAS the file /dev/video0
And the webcam works well with “Cheese” (apt-get install cheese)

Now comes the weird Stuff:
When trying to use “Webcam-Viewer” it replies:

unfortunately this command not works for everybody, I have added a informational message for the cases that the webcam not works, can you please try to update the package webcam-viewer and do these tests?:

  • running it on a machine with a working webcam, it just works (no message)
  • running it on a machine where not works the webcam (like the machine of this report), you should see a informative message instead (that recommends to use cheese)
