What version of GnomeMeeting?
0.93.0?

If you don't have a gatekeeper, then you should not choose to register
to it. You should select "Do not register to a gatekeeper", which is the
default option.

It is because you have no video camera for device /dev/video0, channel
1. Channel 0 is a more common setting. Channel 1 is in general not for
webcam, but is for TV cards. You should use default settings.

Can you provide a stack trace in gdb? It is probably a bug in pwlib or
GnomeMeeting triggered by a malfunction of your video driver. What is
your video driver? It can also be a conflict between installed OpenH323
and PWlib libraries. It happens when you are using conflicting libraries
that were not compiled together, or when you install things using
--force.

Without stack trace it is very difficult. Nobody never reported any
crash due to video problems since the begin GnomeMeeting. If you provide
the video driver and the version of GnomeMeeting you are using, perhaps
we can help. Also, the last release of GnomeMeeting 0.93, you should at
least upgrade to this version and see if the problem still occurs. Huge
improvements have been made in GnomeMeeting 0.93 (which requires Gnome2
libraries).
