Freezin Ubuntu(Breezy) When You Turn On The Webcam (ICM532 chipset cameras)
Published on January 24th, 2006.
First of all you will need the spca5xx- driver to use a ICM532 chipset webcam.
(If you upgrade your kernel, repeat these steps.)
We start:
Code is for kernel,
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` build-essential gcc-3.4
Then you must have the root permissons to do following steps. If you have a root password there is no problem. But if you don’t have one then you have to create a root password:
sudo passwd root
When you set up a root pass there is no problem, let’s continue:
(I choosed the latest driver, for any updates please check:

suCC=gcc-3.4export CCexitCC=gcc-3.4export CCwget http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/spca5xx-20060101.tar.gztar xvfz spca5xx-20060101.tar.gzcd spca5xx-20060101makesudo modprobe -r spca5xx
We are nearly done. At last:
sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/media/spca5xx*sudo make installsudo modprobe spca5xx
That’s all fellas….
