cannot set freq 16000 to exp 0x86-: Boot Failure due to logitech Quickcam

[Bob Huber]

This I think is a carry over from quite a while back but prevents Lucid from booting about every other time you try.
The error is also present in Karmic 9.10 but does not prevent the system from booting..

cannot set freq 16000 to exp 0x86

This seems to be directly related to my Logitech Quickcam camera.

AMD 64 X2 64bit Lucid Beta2, 3/gig ram,Nvidia Graphics

[[e-mail] (tom-barnes47)]

I'm also getting this. Randomly will lock up my system on boot.

Running Lucid Lynx, on Intel E8200, 4Gb Ram, dual booting with Vista,

I have a Logitech E3500 webcam.

1. Installed Logitech E3500 camera (back when I was still running Ubuntu
9.04)
2. System would fail to boot about every other time.
3. System still fails to boot with Maverick and Lucid although not quite
as often.
4. Error shown during boot - cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86
5. System log error shown (Lucid example) bob-desktop kernel: [
17.490161] 4:3:1: cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86
6. Unplug camera to resolve boot problem.

Hi Bob,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 567565

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

[14556.832370] 5:3:1: cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86

so problem has not gone away.

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Hello Andrew

This bug is missing log files that will aid in dianosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 567565

and then change the status of the bug back to 'New'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

I'm sorry for this mess, I wanted to confirm the aforementioned problem for oneiric, and I ran apport-collect. I didn't expect it to produce 15 separate comments.

[Brad Figg (brad-figg)]

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.

However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is such a request.

We have noted that there is a newer version of the development kernel than the one you last tested when this issue was found. Please test again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Fix Released.

Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.

[plafue (plafue)]

I can also confirm this bug (found earlier in Natty, now also in Oniric using kernel 3.0.0-13-generic). I can confirm this happens when connecting logitec webcams with integrated mic (i.e. 046d:081b or 046d:09a5). In natty, at some stage the microphone would be recognized and available through alsa, not it just wont work.

This bug is also being discussed in the following thread (with a kernel that seems to fix the issue for some devices):

[João Pinto (joaopinto)]

This is likely to be a related to bug 459445.

[Tim Kuijsten (kuijsten)]

the same problem exists in oneiric with 3.0.0.16 #29 x86_64

[Mark Crompton (cromptonm)]

Same problem with Precise 64-bit and kernel 3.2.0-25

[atbalazs (atbalazs)]

The very same problem with Precise 64-bit and kernel 3.2.0-32. Its wierd as about 3 of 5 bootups finished wihtout any noticeable problem while about 2 of 5 ends with an unresponsive login screen and no sound at all.

[Javier Hernandez (fjherna1-t)]

Running Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (AMD 64), Logitech webcam and getting the annoying "cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86" message.

It is a random problem, i.e. sometimes I get it and sometimes not.
:(

No sound at all.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Bob Huber, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.
