Public bug reported: I've recently moved from FC25 to KUbuntu 17.10 and the video- surveillance program is causing the system to freeze all usb peripherals (mouse, keyboard, bluetooth, etc...). As a consequence the only solution is to remote login and kill the process using the capture device.
Camera: Logitech QuickCam 4000 Pro USB (old model) I've tried with newer webcams and it works. Steps: - Start any video capturing program e.g. vlc - start video Capture with Ctrl-C with the default Video Camera - After 1-2 frames the systems freezes - Killing the application, unfreezes the system The dmesg is full of repeated messages: Nov 10 09:02:50 pceet070 kernel: [54333.596539] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: ERROR unknown event type 37 ...
