For anyone else interested in tracking down this bug as I'm not going to be around until Tuesday, the current assumption is that something in the core of gstreamer is causing the regression.
As it only happens on a subset of hardware, the guess would be that it has to do with the encoding/decoding part that may take a different path depending on the pixelformat/resolutions supported by the webcams. luvcview -L can help figuring that out. -- 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: Ubiquity loops forever from ubiquity_webcam_play Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gstreamer0.10” source package in Precise: Confirmed Status in “ubiquity” source package in Precise: Confirmed 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.
