</div>Thanks! This means the gst did not save an image from the camera.<br>
<br>
Please try in a Terminal shell:<br>
<br>
gst-launch v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! jpegenc ! filesink location=/tmp/pippypic.jpg<br>
<br>
and show me any error output.<br>
<br>
If there is no error output, wait a second, then press Control/C. (If<br>
the command is left to run, /tmp/pippypic.jpg grows continuously as<br>
frames are stored in the file.)<br>
<br>
Please check you have adequate free space in /tmp directory.<br>
