[Bug 139115] Re: when i unplg usb camera kopete freeze or crash everytime

[Taupter]

About Kopete fiddling with the TV Tuner card, Kopete needs to scan the available devices to be aware of its properties. It's possible to a device to be opened by two programs at the same time (to get info about it) and that's what Kopete does.
I currently have three USB webcams (two gspca1 and one uvc), 1 DC-10+ M-JPEG capture card, one Pico2000 CCTV and one Hauppauge TV/FM tuner card, all connected at the same time for testing purposes. I use KdeTv constantly and it never conflicted with Kopete and vice versa (I tested it).
Maybe it's related to an specific device, and if some arrangement can be done to provide me one device of the same model for testing purposes, I'll gladly test it. Novell sent me a Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000 (thanks William Stephenson and Novell) and I made it work properly with Kopete in one afternoon. Please contact my nick at gmail dot com if you are interested.

P.S.: No, I don't make a living reselling hardware people send to me. :D
I'm just unable to test against every device in the market, and some
aren't even available in the local market and/or are too expensive (as
The Quickcam Motion AF). So if it's not such a burden and you woke up in
a good mood, donate a device and help a zillion people to use Linux and
fix both this bug and Ubuntu's bug #1.
