It never really hung for me. What happened was that the ubiquity tread used all the CPU it could get and start eating up all the memory. After almost an hour of unresponsiveness the last bit of memory and swap was gobbled up and the ubiquity thread was killed (by 'kswap0' or something with a similar name). After that the liveCD desktop would start.
It does feel like something hangs, but the machine is actually really busy (and unresponsive). I don't have a backtrace or the bugged .iso to reproduce the bug, sorry. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/966294 Title: gstreamer hangs when accessing webcam (on specific hardware) Status in The GStreamer Multimedia Framework: New Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gstreamer0.10” source package in Precise: Fix Released Bug description: Every time I install ubuntu on this hardware with ubiquity it hangs before the camera loads and after clicking continue on the "choose a user" screen.
