On upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS from 20.04 LTS, the inbuilt cheese application is not working properly. On running it, displays a Blank Black Screen. enter image description here

Unable to capture vedios also. It gets stucked.

Please help me in fixing this.

  • Having the same issue, but also with other apps. Video driver issue in the new kernel perhaps? – sastorsl May 11 '22 at 13:18
  • actually before doing that Try lowering the settings like the photo and video resolution It might solve your problem – Mun Hong Chan Apr 24 '22 at 05:52
  • Same issue here in Ubuntu 22.04. Try to launch cheese in terminal. Took a photo and here is the error : ```(cheese:16465): cheese-WARNING **: 21:52:05.432: Output state was not configured: ../gst-libs/gst/video/gstvideoencoder.c(2281): gst_video_encoder_can_push_unlocked (): /GstCameraBin:camerabin/GstEncodeBin:image-encodebin/GstJpegEnc:jpegenc0``` When I launch Cheese with sudo. It works ! But the picture is saved in /root/.gnome2/cheese I'm not sure to understand, and less sure how to fix it ! – Quentin May 23 '22 at 19:57

Just a couple of suggestions It may or may not work:

First: Try lowering the settings like the photo and video resolution It might solve your problem. OR, try to increase the image/video resolution : this solved the problem in my case ( DELL Latitude E6130)

Second: have you install codecs yet? if not, just run

sudo add-apt-repository multiverse
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Third: If it still doesn't work try installing kamoso. as an alternative camera app

sudo apt install kamoso

Check preferences then change the device webcam. That fixed issue on my side.
