Comment 2 for bug 1178910

Thank you for the quick response and my apologies for seeing it so late.

I am absolutely loving this project's forum for the speed and accuracy AND the user-friendliness of the response.

I shall try it out and revert.

> To add the boot-parameter press any button if you see the "human = keyboard" icon at the bottom of the screen. You'll land at the boot menu with options like "Try without installing" etc. Now press F6 to enable boot-parameter editing and press Esc to close the menu that popups. Now you are able to edit the text at the bottom of the screen (above the options). Insert the text "modprobe.blacklist=uvcvideo" before the "--".

> Bug description:
> I tried to install it but was surprised to see the installer crashing everytime it reached the stage where my pic would be taken from the webcam.
> I use the integrated webcam of my system which is a IBM ThinkPad R61. I have an old issue with Wifi in ubuntu which has carried forward to this too so I disabled the wifi connection the second time I tried the installer.
> Again it crashed at the very same instance despite the installer having progressed substantially.
> I think it is thus related to the webcam being called to take a pic when creating my login profile.
>
> Please help.
