I've made another test : For the Chicony webcam :
$ lsmod | grep uvc uvcvideo 48644 1 compat_ioctl32 2304 1 uvcvideo videodev 29312 4 uvcvideo,gspca v4l2_common 18432 2 uvcvideo,videodev v4l1_compat 15364 2 uvcvideo,videodev usbcore 138632 9 snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,uvcvideo,gspca,lmpcm_usb,usbhid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd For the Logitech webcam : $ lsmod | grep spca gspca 608336 1 videodev 29312 4 uvcvideo,gspca usbcore 138632 9 snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,uvcvideo,gspca,lmpcm_usb,usbhid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd It's seems that the Chicony webcam uses the uvcvideo module while the Logitech webcam uses the GSPCA module. The common modules are videodev and usbcore. Maybe the bug is in these modules. -- Webcam freeze after a few minutes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162615 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
