Marty Vona, , this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, as per your comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/941945/comments/25 this issue is fixed in Precise. If this remains true, would you like a backport to a prior release, or may we close this bug as Status Invalid?
** Tags removed: kernel-bug-exists-upstream ** Tags added: natty needs-upstream-testing ** Description changed: - USB webcams which worked fine under lucid running as a vmware client (OS - X host) no longer work under natty or oneiric. I have yet to get *any* - webcam to work in natty or oneiric using the default kernel under - vmware; they do work in a standard non vmware setting. + In a OS X 10.6.8 host, vmware fusion 4.1.1 Lucid guest, USB webcams + which worked fine before, no longer work under natty or oneiric. I have + yet to get *any* webcam to work in natty or oneiric using the default + kernel under vmware; they do work in a standard non vmware setting. The devices appear as /dev/video devices and sometimes programs (e.g. guvcview, opencv programs) can display a few images. But the image stream freezes after a few seconds, often with "select timeout" repeatedly printed to the console. syslog also contains repeated failed to resubmit video URB (-27) messages. I have tested logitech webcam pro 9000, iSight, and Kinect. All have this issue. I have tested the default natty and oneiric kernels as well as mainline 3.0.22 and 3.1.4 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/. This may be related to 682128, 729627, 879700, 834506. - The workaround I'm currently using is to revert to kernel 2.6.32-38 in - oneiric. Manually download - + WORKAROUND: Revert to kernel 2.6.32-38 in oneiric. Manually download linux-headers-2.6.32-38_2.6.32-38.83_all.deb linux-headers-2.6.32-38-generic-pae_2.6.32-38.83_i386.deb linux-image-2.6.32-38-generic-pae_2.6.32-38.83_i386.deb from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux and install with dpkg. Hold SHIFT while rebooting, select the 2.6.32 kernel. sudo vmware- config-tools.pl as usual.
