[Bug 966294] Re: Ubiquity loops forever from ubiquity_webcam_play

[openfred]

Post #17: Workaround is working (Samsung netbook NF310 shark):
sudo rm /usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-webcam.py

If no solution is found, removing this file from iso will solve this
really anoying bug which is affecting many laptop.

Attached is dmidecode for Samsung NF310 (NP-NF310-A01FR)
And result of lsusb command for the webcam having issue with this version of gstreamer.

Remark: after successfull install, Cheese is not working (not starting,
and CPU jump to 100%)
