Title:
  webcam regression after 2.6.32 under vmware

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  In a OS X 10.6.8 host, vmware fusion 4.1.1 Lucid guest, USB webcams
  which worked fine before, no longer work under natty or oneiric.  I
  have yet to get *any* webcam to work in natty or oneiric using the
  default kernel under vmware; they do work in a standard non vmware
  setting.

  The devices appear as /dev/video devices and sometimes programs (e.g.
  guvcview, opencv programs) can display a few images.  But the image
  stream freezes after a few seconds, often with "select timeout"
  repeatedly printed to the console.  syslog also contains repeated

  failed to resubmit video URB (-27)

  messages.  I have tested logitech webcam pro 9000, iSight, and Kinect.
  All have this issue.  I have tested the default natty and oneiric
  kernels as well as mainline 3.0.22 and 3.1.4 from
  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/.

  This may be related to 682128, 729627, 879700, 834506.

  WORKAROUND: Revert to kernel 2.6.32-38 in oneiric. Manually download
  linux-headers-2.6.32-38_2.6.32-38.83_all.deb
  linux-headers-2.6.32-38-generic-pae_2.6.32-38.83_i386.deb
  linux-image-2.6.32-38-generic-pae_2.6.32-38.83_i386.deb

  from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux and install with dpkg.
  Hold SHIFT while rebooting, select the 2.6.32 kernel.  sudo vmware-
  config-tools.pl as usual.  If networkmanager fails to bring up eth0
  then add

  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet dhcp

  to /etc/network/interfaces and sudo ifup -a.
