Hello, I can confirm this bug with the same symptoms, eg. sometimes the camera hangs. Attached is some system information, created with sudo lshw -html >> system_info.html . I have observed that the hanging of the camera appears when something large and bright is in the background, eg. a window during daytime. Then, when moving the hand before the camera, the input light is not so intense anymore and the camera starts taking pictures again until it gets too bright again. To me it looks like some threshold value for brightness in the camera driver, which is set too low or shouldnt be there at all. It is a driver problem, since the problem occurs in different video applications, e.g. Kopete and skype. By the way, the suggestion from Levente Torok does not solve the problem.
