Cheese starts this way:
$ cheese
(cheese:2371): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 12:41:52.656: g_value_dup_string: assertion ‘G_VALUE_HOLDS_STRING (value)’ failed
(cheese:2371): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 12:41:52.733: g_value_dup_string: assertion ‘G_VALUE_HOLDS_STRING (value)’ failed
at this point of time cheese window is open and no more logs come. It presents however two device entries under Preferences, Webcam tab.
