Ubuntu

The silence is scary. After working fine for a month suddenly "4.246769 uvcvideo: Failed to Query (129) UVC probe control" error

Asked by pjb7669@msn.com

Now 2 VAIO's displaying same symptoms. Boot time on SZ 5minute, Boot time on CR 1 minute (from 30 sec) and growing?

The link to the 2007 bug report does not offer a solution!

OS Ubuntu 10.04 LTE 64bit installed on a VAIO SZ890.
1. Worked fine for a month then last night after I pressed power instead of the normal 25 second boot up I relieved a UVC error message. I did not realise that if I left it for 3 minutes it would boot into the desktop.
2. Reinstalled 10.04 LTE 64bit. Same issue.
3. Upgraded to 10.10 Release Candidate. Same issue
4. After googling until I am cross eyed the closest thing I can find is a reference from 2008 about a generic ricoh camera. I'm guessing that UVC is short for (Universal Video Camera) below is the complete error

[ 4.246769] uvcvideo; Failed to query (129) UVC probe control : -32 (exp. 26)
[ 4.246831] uvcvideo: Failed to initialize the device (-5).

Ubuntu 10.10 [Name of laptop was here]

5. After 3 minutes this line of text appeared in addition to the above
[Name of Laptop was here] login: ( 126.4825641) tpm_tis 00:09:tpm_transmit: tpm_send: error -62

6. PC boots to desktop

Very irritating as it worked fine. FYI the VAIO motion eye camera has never worked when I tried to use it with Skype or other applications. While the PC works it's irritating to have to wait almost 5 minutes for the PC to boot.

Seems like a common issue alright, seeing it on my Vaio as well. Why is the bug marked as "answered" if there is no solution here?

try to diable TPM in the bios, this was helpfull at my notebook

I tried the following,

1. I disabled TPM in the BIOS. After receiving a warning that security software would not be able to run properly. I went ahead and did it. Upon reboot it asked me to confirm the change of TPM state. I did so and saved then rebooted. No luck. Still having the same issue. I reset to TPM enabled.

2. Looking at the boot priority in the BIOS I noticed that the internal hard drive was way down the list. I moved it up further hoping this would solve the problem. It did not work.

Still looking for a solution. I'll keep an eye open. thanks.

I just imaged a VAIO CR520 with 10.10 64Bit. When it boots it quickly flashes what appears to be the same message. Instead of a 5 minute wait it's only about 20 additional seconds to the normal boot time but I must admit I find this disturbing. Ubuntu 10.04 did not do this on this machine before but like the SZ apparently developed this error "after" installation.

I know you guys are busy with the launch but could this be a symptom of a larger problem? I now have a VAIO SZ791N and a VAIO CR520 both running 10.10 64 bit and both look to be developing the same problem. I can no longer use the SZ as waiting 5 minutes to boot is unacceptable for me, Windows XP boots faster now. I'll continue using the CR but if it also develops a longer boot delay I'm afraid I'm going to have to reset to Windows 7 or (gasp!!) Vista.

I hope someone can help me figure this out.

thanks

Anyone have any thoughts or ideas? Would be much appreciated. I would settle for being able go back to an older version of Ubuntu but whatever is causing this has gacked that option for me.

Trick or Treat Ubuntu community? Peace.
