    Internal repeating USB device error bringing my fresh install to its knees ?!


    Greetings, i just did a fresh install of Feisty Fawn on an Acer Aspire 5670. Previously I had Dapper working on here without problems. However, I get the following message during boot and ongoing in my kern.log file.
    Can anybody show me a) how to disable detection of this device or b) how to fix the problem ? I did notice this bug in ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s....20/+bug/81915
    is it the same as mine ? anybody have a workaround ?
    thanks

    Code:

    Re: Internal repeating USB device error bringing my fresh install to its knees ?

    FYI... I posted on the kubuntu mailing list and got a workable response... here it is in case anybody needs it:

    Blacklist the kernel module gspca (which is used for for the camera) and
    unload the module. In a terminal (e.g. konsole) enter these commands:

    sudo sh -c "echo 'blacklist gspca' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-cam"
    sudo rmmod gspca

    Working...
