I'll probably try this after going back home.
$ sudo -c 'echo options uvcvideo nodrop=1 >> /etc/modprobe.d/uvcvideo.conf &&
rmmod uvcvideo && modprobe uvcvideo'
Tried again with kernel 3.3.1 and it froze with Cheese open after about 20 minutes, so this seems to be a webcam problem instead of an issue with Skype. The kernel in testing 3.3.2 also locks up, so I'll just stay on 3.2.14 for now.
]]>These lockups are complete lockups. I cannot get any response. I've tried SSHing in and enabling magic sysrq keys. No response.
Here's an example from messages.log during a lockup:
Apr 12 21:04:20 localhost kernel: [10659.514801] type=1400 audit(1334279060.030:263024): apparmor="ALLOWED" operation="file_mprotect" parent=16013 profile="/usr/lib/chromium/chromium-sandbox" name="/usr/lib/chromium/chromium-sandbox" pid=16264 comm="chromium-sandbo" requested_mask="Apr 12 21:09:03 localhost kernel: [ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset
Apr 12 21:09:03 localhost kernel: [ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpu
As you can see there, it stopped writing to the log mid-line.
I've gone ahead and downgraded to kernel 3.2.14 after the lastest lockup just now to make sure it is kernel 3.3/skype that is the problem. I'll comment back in a few days on this.
Anyone else experiencing anything similiar?
