[Bug 984603] Re: Skype video freezes right after few first frames
I have the same problem. It freezes in both: Skype and Cheese. Sometimes it freezes after one second, the other times after 5-10 seconds. I noticed that if reduce resolution to 176x144 in Cheese then it does not freeze and works fine! But when Skype starts my cam it uses 640x480 so it freezes and I don't know how to reduce the resolution it in this case. Anyway, there's some bug in it.

I sometimes wonder whether someone who really needs Skype should actually install Ubuntu 64 Bit but 32 Bit. I have a feeling that somewhere along the line 64 Bit Ubuntu isn't quite as good as 32 Bit. It's a shame as newer computers are now 64 Bit. It's not only Skype freezing, but Cheese won't work at all. Cheese crashes the moment I click on it in the Applications menu. Regarding GoogleChat the video does work OK however I cannot set it to use my Logitech Web Cam which Skype picks up on Camera /Dev/Dev2. Having two cameras it picks up on the older Webcam using the GSPCA Main Driver. GoogleChat does not list Camera /Dev/Dev2 in the settings menu.

[Bug 984603] Re: Skype video freezes right after few first frames
I spoke too soon - the backported driver updates certainly helped, but I have now realised that Skype was only working with an external analogue microphone. When asked to use the webcam's built-in microphone, I was back to freezing images - unless I defocussed the images, in which case it worked! Some bandwidth issues then Hans was once again very helpful, and correctly suggested This sounds like your setup has an usb-2.0 hub between the camera and the root-hub (*). This means that you either have a intel sandybridge machihine, where such a hub is integrated into the chipset, or you have put a hub in between yourself. *) Unfortunately the linux EHCI scheduling code deals poorly with multiple isoc stream to a USB-1 device attached through a USB-2 hub. This was indeed the problem - I have a Sandybridge chipset. Apparently there are no known workarounds (apart from making sure your webcam is not a USB-1 device, or using an external microphone). My best guess is that the bug reports relating to "skype only, other apps work fine" are probably better labelled as "combined video and audio from the same USB-1 device only, video only apps work fine". -- 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

[Bug 984603] Re: skype video freezes right after few first frames (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
Almost same problem with 32bit ubuntu 12.04LTS. Skype starts well and I can send text-chat without a problem. But if I attempt a call (whether echo test or to another user) skype freezes and the rest of the computer follows. The hard drive light shows that it is working very hard but nothing moves - not even a mouse! This state is maintained for as long as I can wait before forcibly shutting down with the power button! Maximum I've waited is about 20 minutes before forcing the computer off. I'm using a built-in webcam which always worked fine till I upgraded to 12.04LTS. $uname -a Linux <> 3.2.0-24-generic #39-ubuntu SMP Mon May 21 16:51:22 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux -- 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 (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) 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

Same problem for me with 32bit ubuntu 12.04LTS My webcam is: "046d:08d9 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam IM/Connect" Video is OK in Cheese and Skype option test menu, but when using during a call, after 20-30s, images becomes darker, the webcam seems to disconnect (Led flashing) and then the video freeze.

Skype video is completely unusable on this first day of 12.04's official release. This invariably happens about 30 seconds into a call.
