Public bug reported: I have a dual boot ubuntu 12.04 lts and CentOS 6.2 minimal computer. I am connecting a usb webcam with 10 meter usb extension cable. CentOS was able to recognize the webcam as /dev/video0 while ubuntu was unable to recognize it as /dev/video0.
But both are able to recognize webcam when connected directly with out extension cable. Is there a problem with ubuntu's usb host controller driver or webcam driver?
