webcam still powered on after closing cheese

[chunchengch]

I just upgrade my Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04, only one problem persists since Ubuntu 8.10, the Syntek webcam (ID 05e1:0501) is still on after I close Cheese, and shutdown the computer is the only way to turn off the webcam.

Any way to fix it? thanks.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. I have classified this bug as a bug in cheese.
For future reference you might be interested to know that a lot of applications have bug reporting functionality built in to them. This can be accessed via the Report a Problem option in the Help menu for the application with which you are having an issue. You can learn more about this feature at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

Adding hundredpapercuts task from a duplicate.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Unfortunately a paper cut should be a small usability issue that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

This is a hardware specific issue, Not a papercut

A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.

For resolution of the bug, kindly identify the projects affected and assign the bug to that project, otherwise the devs of the concerned project might not be notified of this problem.

Actually this problem is not application specific or computer specific as I have been to reproduce it on an Asus F3JC and on a Medion MD42230 with cheese, skype and a webpage using flash to use my webcam. I am not a developper and do not know which package are concerned but I would bet on webcam drivers rather.

The problem still persists in Karmic Koala 9.10

Assigned the bug to the kernel because usb suspend should be handled there. I have the same problem with an acer traverlamte 8371 webcam preventing me from reaching the 8w power usage this machine is capable of.

This bug was reported against the linux-meta package when it likely should have been reported against the linux package instead. We are automatically transitioning this to the linux kernel package so that the appropriate teams are notified and made aware of this issue.

If this bug really is a bug in the linux-meta package you can move it back to linux-meta and set the Status to Confirmed, or contact us on the #ubuntu-kernel channel on the FreeNode IRC server. Thanks.

Hi chunchengch,

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 363583

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.

I have now installed Lucid Lynx Alpha 3 and have updated it through Synaptic
on March 13th. I can tell you that the bug is still pending in Lucid Lynx
and should probably be linked to it. Sorry but I don't know how to do this.
Can someone please do it for me?
