Hello, I have a webcam: ( 0ac8:305b ) Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0305 Webcam that uses the gspca driver (gspca_zc3xx). I have Debian Wheezy installed.
It works well with older kernels - i used it up to 2.6.38 or 39 and had no issues with it. But with the 3 series kernels (at least the current 3.1 and the 3.2 from unstable) started to misbehave. If i use it with any program (Skype, Vlc, Jitsi etc) it works, but after finishing the streaming/call or after a period of time after that i cannot close those programs anymore, they freeze and kill or kill -9 does not kill them. Additionally the camera does not unregister (the /dev/video0 device is there) if plugged out and all usb hotplugging ceases to work (the already plugged devices work and lsusb shows a "snapshot" of the plugged-in devices). Rmmodding the gspca drivers does not work (device is busy), using the -f switch locks the console. dmesg shows no output, no kernel panic or anything. Only when i used Jitsi (which is java-based) i have seen some reports about "the thread being blocked for more than 120 seconds". Only resolution i found is a restart. Is this a known issue? -- O zi buna, Kertesz Laszlo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
