Thanks!  This means the gst did not save an image from the camera.

Please try in a Terminal shell:

gst-launch v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! jpegenc ! filesink location=/tmp/pippypic.jpg

and show me any error output.

If there is no error output, wait a second, then press Control/C.  (If
the command is left to run, /tmp/pippypic.jpg grows continuously as
frames are stored in the file.)

Please check you have adequate free space in /tmp directory.
