Comment 157 for bug 290506

For all the users affected by this bug:

1. Please don't try to compile from source UNLESS you know what you're doing, OR you're willing to look for support at the mentioned forum thread.

2. If you enable proposed repo, at this time the kernel -11 would be installed. This kernel ALREADY include the patches needed to make the webcams affected by this issue work.

3. If you're experiencing slowness in cheese you can install the libv4l 0.5.7 package from Loic's PPA while the SRU is being approved.

4. If you're still facing this issue is probably another bug, so we'll need to check with the ones still affected in order to find and already reported bug or open a new one.

So, at this moment this bug is solved by this package available in the proposed repo:

 sudo apt-cache policy linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic
linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic:
  Instalados: 2.6.27-11.22
  Candidato: 2.6.27-11.22
  Tabla de versión:
 *** 2.6.27-11.22 0
        500 http://co.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-proposed/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Thanks a lot for your help in debugging and solving this issue.

Regards,
