[Bug 843354] Re: When prompted to take photo with webcam, the capture is delayed

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.13.17

ubiquity (2.13.17) raring; urgency=low

  * Remove webcam step (LP: #1118589):
    - User testing showed people are not expecting to be photographed and
      raise privacy concerns as to where the picture will be uploaded to.
    - Provides limited benefit, as avatar only ever shown on multi-login
      systems in the switch user indicator / pkexec.
    - Crashes the installer or doesn't work with certain webcams.
    - Miss detects camera presence, when it's just a sensor.
    - The recommendation is to move webcam test to checkbox / hw testing,
      as video conferencing is very popular these days and should work
      reliably out of the box.

  * Do not count optional pages, when updating the progress dots. This
    fixes "Porgress dots, well don't progress after partman step"
    LP: #1152746
  * Do not mark explanatory text on "Installation Type" screen
    insensitive, as otherwise it's ineligible (LP: #1074386)

Title:
  When prompted to take photo with webcam, the capture is delayed

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I'm using a fresh 11.10 64bit desktop install

  When I click to take a picture with the webcam during install, it
  takes a second and freezes the live preview as though it had just
  taken the photo, but then *retakes* the photo 1 or 2 seconds later
