I encountered this bug and, with the much-appreciated help of Hans de Goede, managed to fix it within the stock 12.04 kernel by cherry-picking some patches from the gspca git tree. I went here
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=history;f=drivers/media/video/gspca/zc3xx.c and applied all the patches up to and including [media] gspca_zc3xx: Disable the highest quality setting but skipping over [media] gspca: Fix locking issues related to suspend This compiled and inserted without problems in the stock 12.04 kernel, and fixed the bug I was seeing with Skype. Maybe the Ubuntu maintainers will consider a backport? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984603 Title: Skype video freezes right after few first frames To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/984603/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
