[Bug 1020097] Re: Ubiquity locks up on the webcam page

[Dave Morley]

I'm pretty sure if it is the same issue I had with this machine in
precise it has to do with the driver for the webcam not initialising
correctly and hogging all the cpu and filling the memory till eventually
the  kernel panics or something along those lines.  I know it got
resolved in the last beta and works flawlessly in precise now.

Title:
  Ubiquity locks up on the webcam page

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Quantal:
  New

Bug description:
  Running through the install on an HP G62 Laptop the screen locks up on
  the webcam page.

  This could be an issue with either linux drivers or the ubiquity
  implementation.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. On an hp g62 laptop
  2. Grab the lastest working iso from /current/
  3. run the install
  4. On the webcam page for your login image it locks up

  I don't get the kernel panic flashing lights like I did in precise in
  earlier versions but I think the issue is fairly similar.
