(Get the code!)
I have the same problem for any application that uses the webcam, including skype and googletalk. Apparently it is a problem with the gspca driver. Whe the problem is present dmesg reports:
[19245.046799] gspca: bandwidth not wide enough - trying again
some ubuntu versions ago, the driver was spca5xx, which worked fine. Some people argue that the solution is in installing a new (probably unofficial) kernel version. What could be the compilation flags that are creating the problem in the official kernels??
