Bug#771063: cheese: Cheese interferes with other USB devices than the webcam

[Victor Porton]

Package: cheese
Version: 3.14.1-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I've connected and configured Advice PRS850 (a UPS with USB interface).

When I started Cheese, I received the following broadcast message:

"Communications with UPS advice at localhost lost"

When I exited Cheese, I receive the following broadcast message:

"Communications with UPS advice at localhost established"

The webcam (a TASCORP USB2.0 JPEG WebCam) was connected to a USB2.0 interface
and the UPS was connected to a USB3.0 interface.

Switching the USB connectors of the webcam and the UPS solved the problem
for me.

I am not sure that this is a bug in Cheese (well, Cheese should not be able
to interact with system software such as NUT server), but I was suggested
to return the bug for this package in the NUT mailing list.

Please advise me where else this bug should be reported.

The problem solved

My /etc/nut/ups.conf :

[[[[
maxretry = 3

[advice]
    driver = blazer_usb
    port = /dev/ttyS0
    vendorid = 0665
    productid = 5161
