I recently encountered this problem too on my Acer Aspire 5610 laptop with built in camera. (read: very common mid-range laptop). For me it loop through USB addresses up to 127 and then started again at 2 during boot. This stopped the boot process in its tracks(!). Rebooting in safe mode didn't help either. I worked around the problem by booting with a different kernal and then adding gspca to the blacklist.
Looking at lsusb, I'm guessing that the webcam is: Bus 005 Device 002: ID 046d:0896 Logitch, Inc -- Camera Detection Issues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151684 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
