I am having the same problem. Whether the option is 640x480 or 320x240 makes no difference. I get about 2 picture updates then nothing. Same localhost:8888 as others have tried. I reloaded webcam-server with no luck. I did run updates after installing ubuntu.
As the original report says, I can restart webcam-server and I get the next 2 pics and then it's frozen. Both WebcamStudio and Cheese see the camera fine and show motion. WebCamStudio is working with uStream no problem. And to be clear, I'm entering either: http://localhost:8888 localhost:8888 ky5u-two:8888 (note:ky5u-two is the computer's name) http://ky5u-two:8888 What I see on all addresses above is the picture. When I hit F5 to refresh or <cntrl><shift>r to refresh the browser, I get one maybe two more images then it's frozen. Restarting webcam-server will give me two more images then frozen again. Changing the webcam-server start script parameter to 640x480 I see the change when I restart the program. So the program is getting its parameters from the script. Changing the port to 8080 works. Changing the comment works. But nothing fixes the freeze issue. I did notice that originally after installing ubuntu, when I entered "sudo apt-get install webcam-server" I got "E: Couldn't find package webcam-server". I ran update this way to fix and get the webcam- server package: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install webcam- server". I used webcam-server on this PC successfully before a disk crash. I put in a spare drive, and reinstalled ubuntu using the whole drive as I had before. This time as described, webcam-server does not work properly. Hope I didn't overload you with info and thanks for listening. I can be reached at ky5u(at)bellsouth.net.
