Re: use usb camera on arch

Did you try searching for the xlib error? (google, ixquick, duckduckgo)? I find several hits for this error when I search.

Now, I get information as follow when I enter cheese

(cheese:451): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref_sink: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
(cheese:451): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref_sink: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
