Hey guys,
I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10, and everything in the change over worked smoothly, except for one thing: anytime I run a program that accesses the webcam, nothing is displayed.
So I did a little digging, and it's a permissions issue. For example, if I run 'gksudo cheese' I'm able to view my webcam, but not with 'cheese'.
I've added myself to the video group, and made sure that my user profile is able to access video hardware, but the issue is still not resolved. Any ideas, hints or solutions? They'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
