Comment 77 for bug 290506

Cheers, guys, building UVC from source also fixed the problem for me (x86 with latest 27-7-kernel via normal system updates)

@zoomy942: Here's a detailed howto:

1) bring up the console
2) enter these commands one after the other:

sudo apt-get install subversion
sudo apt-get install build-essentials (just in case)
svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk
cd trunk
make

then run the following line as one (just copy and paste* everything within the quotation marks, this is one command):
"sudo install uvcvideo.ko -v -m644 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/video/uvc/uvcvideo.ko &&
sudo make install &&
sudo cp -av /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/video/uvc/uvcvideo.ko /lib/modules &&
sudo depmod -ae $(uname -r)"

3) reboot
4) Enjoy your cheese ;)

*hint: to paste something into the console-window use ctrl+shift+v or right-click and select paste
