Webcam causes computer to hang
This is a discussion about Webcam causes computer to hang in the Everything Linux category; I've got a Logitec Zoom webcam connected via a USB and am running Mandrake 9. 2. If I plug the webcam in, the whole computer just hangs - everything freezes. When I unplug it, the computer remains frozen and I have to reboot without the webcam.
I've got a Logitec Zoom webcam connected via a USB and am running Mandrake 9.2.
If I plug the webcam in, the whole computer just hangs - everything freezes. When I unplug it, the computer remains frozen and I have to reboot without the webcam.
If I start up the computer with the webcam already plugged in, the computer starts to boot up as normal but then hangs or freezes with the following boot-up error in 'verbose' mode:
Quote:Finding module dependencies: modprobe: modprobe: insmod pwc failed
Does anyone have a solution to this? It works fine with Windows XP which I have dual booting in the same machine.
