Bug Description
I am trying to use my USB Microsoft LifeCam Cinema webcam with Ubuntu 12.04. When not in use, it blinks incessantly and seems to slow down my system. Using google voice or guvcview, the camera works for 5 seconds and then freezes. After that camera permanently stops working.
Disconnecting the camera system back running again without slowing down.
Many users report that the hd-3000 lifecam works fine on ubuntu 10.04
