[Bug 1220645] Re: Webcam view shows green screen

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Ubiquity bugs are only tracked in Ubuntu ubiquity package.

This issue will not be fixed, in later releases webcam step has been
altogether removed, due to being buggy, creepy and not providing
significant benefit to the users. We may push a change in ubiquity to
also remove the webcam step in 12.04.4 release but I'm not sure that
qualifies under stable release updates policy.

** Changed in: xorg-lts-raring (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix

** Project changed: ubiquity => ubiquity (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix
