[Bug 386799] Re: Restart required for webcam to work; how to manually restart?

[bford16]

This bug should be reopened.  I have a "Suyin HP Webcam" on my HP
Pavilion dv7-1232NR with Ubuntu Lucid 2.6.32-23-generic (64 bit).  The
webcam works fine after a reboot, but suddenly stops responding.  The
modprobe commands actually make the problem worse; after sudo modprobe
-r uvcvideo and sudo modprobe uvcvideo, Cheese Webcam Booth reports "no
device found."  But the camera is still connected:[code]Bus 001 Device
002: ID 064e:c107 Suyin Corp.[/code]
