Mike, Yes, that does work. I've retested the camera several ways after reading your idea and the current state of affairs is below:
-camera plugged in while booting: works -camera plugged in after logging into GNOME: works -camera plugged in while booting, unplugging camera, and re-connecting camera: does NOT work -camera plugged in while booting, unplugging camera, removing pwc module and re-connecting camera: works To sum up: -pwc is not automatically loaded at boot if the camera is not connected. -pwc is automatically loaded when the camera is connected and the camera works. -pwc is not automatically removed when the camera is disconnected. -The camera does NOT work if pwc is loaded before the camera has been connected. -- Logitech QuickCam Pro 3000 USB webcam does not work if connected after booting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/443278 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
