Bug Description

The 'Take a photo' preview pane appears as empty to begin with. Clicking 'Take photo' will take a photo succesfully, so the webcam hardware is not dysfunctional. It then shows the photo below the preview pane (where it is supposed to go) and in the preview pane itself. There is never any live preview.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.9.24

---------------
ubiquity (2.9.24) precise; urgency=low

  * webcam:
    - image-capture-encoder is deprecated, just drop it for now
    - gst_caps_new_simple needs to use a supported width/height,
      going with 640x480 as it seems standard for most webcams.
      (LP: #942030)
  * ubi-console-setup: On automatic install, don't wait 600ms or
    dbfilter will be None by the time the timer reaches 0 (LP: #944614)
  * debian/control: Add an explicit dependency on realpath to prevent
    check-missing-firmware from crashing. In d-i, realpath is provided
    by busybox.
