[Motmot] camera crash

[ros at caltech.edu]

Hi Andrew,

Having major problems with my camera.

Btw I couldn't find the new libcamiface package update you indicated in
the email (maybe you updated my computer?), on synaptic manager I have the
latest version ... so it looks like I'm up to date.

The camera crashed everytime I tried to go to a smaller ROI, tried a few
times and kept crashing. Then in the last crash I got this error on camera
initialization: "camera thread appears to have died unexpectedly"
I tried replugging camera, reseting bus and restarting computer, but keep
getting the error.


thanks,
Ros
