I installed Camorama from Synaptic for using a webcam and my system doesn't seem to like it.It comes with the 'system not responding'tab and freezes.
Having tried twice with the same results I uninstalled it.Is there some kind of alternative that could work?

Cheese works for me.
It's a GTK / GNOME app, but it does a fairly decent job.

I cant seem to get Cheese working either.I wonder if I'm missing some kind of dependencies.

Did you check if the system is detecting your cam at all?

Does anybody have further clues as to how I can get my Conceptronic webcam running?It works fine in LXDE and Gnome with Jasper and dkms-uvcvideo installed but dkms-uvcvideo doesn't feature in the 2010-beta 1 repository.
Both Cheese and Camorama detect the presence of the webcam but I cant seem to get any video.
Thanks for any suggestions.
