Webcam light stays on, webcam is always active. This leaves the user with the feeling that there might be a security issue and it is very wasteful from a power perspective.
Hardware details:
Acer Aspire 5100
Acer OrbiCam - Manufacturer Bison
Acer Extensa 5420
Acer Crystal Eye Webcam - Manufacturer Suyin Optronics CORP
PowerTop reports that USB2.0 Camera is active 100% of the time and USB autosuspend should be enabled. PowerTop is unable to enable USB autosuspend, so this issue is not resolved.
Seems to be a common problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1139613 with no resolution. This does seem to be a common problem with many Linux distributions, not just Ubuntu. |
