Yes, this issue started after I upgraded my ubuntu from 16.04 to 18.04. I didn't experience it with 16.04.
I also have a newly installed 18.04 on a very same notebook and that one is also affected.
For the record: the youtube videos' lag issue was fixed weeks ago. I just mentioned it, because I had a feeling that that was a similar bug.
I installed the '4.17.0-041700-generic' kernel. It fixed the problem partially:
- Cheese still stuck sometimes (very very rare), but continues in less than a second without interaction
- I cannot reproduce the issue with VLC and hangouts any more
- Super Tux Cart still affected (it might be a different issue?)
What should I do? Cheese works much better with the mainline kernel, but it still stops sometimes for a moment.
