[Bug 554263] Re: [Toshiba Satellite L300D]Trying to use built-in webcam breaks wireless and power management

[Andreas Modinos]

Scratch that last one, read the new improved bug report and follow the
instructions for including all the necessary info. :)

** Description changed:

- Lucid Lynx (10.04) Beta 1, kernel 2.6.32-19-generic
+ Lucid Lynx (10.04) Beta
+ Karmic Koala (9.10)
  
- The webcam on this machine does more than just not work. It also takes
- down other functionality with it!
+ A conflict between the web cam and (built-in) wireless USB adapter seems to be taking place.
+ Steps to repeat on affected machines:
  
- 1. Run cheese
- 2. Wireless adapter will immediately disconnect after which NetworkManager will just display 'device not ready'
- 3. Suspend/hibernate no longer function either
+ Run cheese (or any other app that tries to use the web cam such as
+ Ekiga, aMSN, etc.)
  
- Rebooting fixes everything except the webcam which continues to wreak havoc if called upon.
- This is a regression since Ubuntu 9.04 where this webcam worked perfectly.
+ What happens:
+ 1. Wireless adapter will immediately disconnect after which NetworkManager will just display 'device not ready'
+ 2. Suspend and/or hibernate will also fail if attempted.
+ 3. Removing and reinserting the web cam and/or wireless module will not restore system functionality, has to be rebooted.
  
- This bug in also occurs on Karmic (9.10 stable) with the latest updates
- exactly as described above.
+ This is a regression since Ubuntu 9.04 where this web cam worked
+ perfectly.
+ 
+ -- INFO FOR BUG POSTERS --
+ This bug seems to affect varied models of the Toshiba Satellite line so to make it easier for devs to troubleshoot I suggest you do the following:
+ 
+ 1. Make the bug happen.
+ 2. To attach the relevant data to this bug report, open a terminal in (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and type the following command: apport-cli -f -p linux
+ 3. Follow the instructions on screen and at the end when it asks what to do with the report, tell apport to save the file.
+ After this, you will have a file in /tmp that might look like this: apport.linux-image-2.6.32-19-generic.wRN7Qd.apport
+ 4. Copy the report file to your home folder and reboot.
+ 5. Once online you can leave a message here with the full name/model of your notebook and the generated report file as an attachment to that message!
+ 
+ If these instructions are followed there will be no need to post bits
+ and pieces of information separately.
