Logitech webcam issues with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Update:
Fixed (well, a workaround): Setting environment variable LD_PRELOAD prior to running video problem solves issues on my box.
$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so cheese
---Original Text follows---
cheese and other video programs have been working rather poorly on my AMD64 bit Ubuntu Studio install.
Errors like the following show up:
Rebuilding the latest drivers from linuxtv.org didn't help. I'm still looking for a solution.
Note: Same camera produces same error on a second computer running same version of Ubuntu.

gstreamer-properties is a great test tool for this kind of thing.
I'm going to log a bug on this one.
