[Bug 942030] Re: 'Take a photo' preview pane not showing live preview

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

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.

Title:
  'Take a photo' preview pane not showing live preview

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released

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.
