OK, news: I successfully installed your provided kernel on that machine, rebooted without the camera plugged in, unplugged everything except keyboard and mouse, did
tail -f /var/log/messages and tee'd that to another file, then plugged in the camera.

I tried unplugging both cam and keyboard, then just plugging in the keyboard, but all that happened was that the keyboard usb disconnect event was recorded and then *nothing* else. Not even the webcam being plugged in again. It also failed to recognize they keyboard when I plugged that in again. I rebooted with the camera, keyboard, and mouse plugged in. No dice. Same trace as above, with the keyboard and mouse working, but not the camera. I wonder if exactt or anyone else had similar results... -- Logitech Quickcam Messenger is not usable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/22070 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
