Comment 36 for bug 254235

I was getting this error when I first started cheese (gave up and started using guvcview). Later, when fiddling with dconf I noticed no path was set for the device (web-cam) to be used. I set this string, and it now works fine. I know I am 2 years late to the party but this page is still one of the top google hits for the problem. and it seems a few are still having this problem.
