Public bug reported: I have an Acer 5602WLMi laptop. I have installed Ubuntu 7.10, all ok, when i rebooted (or shutdown+power on) the systems starts a little slowly until login screen. After entering the login, the session appears to hang before showing icons, etc. I takes a while then it boots to the session, saying the Fast User Switch applet has crashed. The system now is very slow, and looking at the system logs i see the OS is constantly trying to configure the integrated webcam, which appears to slow the system a lot.
Example from kern.log: "gspca: probe of 5-6:1.0 failed with error -5" "usb 5-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 89" (address number keeps cycling between an interval) "usb 5-6: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice" "/build/buildd/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-2.6.22/debian/build/build-generic/media/gspcav1/gspca_core.c: USB SPCA5XX camera found.(VC0321)" "usb 5-6: USB disconnect, address 89" "/build/buildd/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-2.6.22/debian/build/build-generic/media/gspcav1/gspca_core.c: Failed to configure camera" [Infinite cycle, repeating configuration of webcam, as above] This happened after i updated the system, but i don't know if it's related, because it was my first reboot after the first boot. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- infinite cycle when trying to configure webcam https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154267 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
