I experience this problem, only without the after-effect of a disabled webcam. I'm on an Acer Aspire 5534-1121 (full notebook with Athlon X2 proc, plenty of RAM, etc.). The lsusb command gives this output for my webcam:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0c45:62c0 Microdia Sonix USB 2.0 Camera I have attached the output for the camera from lsusb -v (lots of data) in a bz2 file along with some other things. I ran this command on the terminal: cheese --verbose --gst-debug-level=3 > cheesestdout.log 2> cheeseerr.log Those two files are also attached. So are two screenshots of the Gnome System Monitor with the cheese process highlighted, one after I pressed the Start Recording button, and one from after I pressed the Stop Recording button. One other minor differences in the way I'm experiencing this bug is that when I press Start Recording, the camera begins to fade in an image from black, but when it does, it's split, as though it gathered the right picture, then shifted it 150 pixels to the right, wrapping whatever got cut off on the right side to the left. Also, the image never completely fades in, just freezes out at about 50% opacity or so. ** Attachment added: "Various outputs of cheese" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37166021/cheese.tar.bz2 -- Video recording hangs cheese, disables camera https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/414451 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
