Hi,

Like in previous post, seems I am still affected by the bug, although I run the latest Quantal kernel, supposed to have integrated for a while the fix released in v3.5-rc7 :

$ uname -a
Linux COYOTE 3.5.0-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 11 18:51:59 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:0825 Logitech, Inc. Webcam C270

I have tons of "cannot set freq 48000 to ep 0x86" in Syslog, and the boot randomly hangs very often, more than 50% of times. The login screen appears, but without the background theme : it's all blue-purple, and the mouse and keyboard (both USB, like the webcam) are unresponsive. Sometimes it suddenly unfreezes after a while (10 to 30 seconds or so), but most of the times never : I have to hard reset the PC.
The problem disappears if I uninstall the "indicator-sound" package, which confirms, like the "unplug during boot" workaround, that the issue with Logitech USB webcam is only in startup sequence.

I am sorry but I think the bug should be reopened rather than let in the "Fix Released" status ...
