webcam crashes installer, can't install linux,lite [solved]

[Scott(0)]

Let's try Valtam's method.

Boot LL from the usb drive. Before beginning the installation open a terminal and type the following command:

Code:

lsmod | grep gspca

where gspca should be the module for your webcam and the output should be something like the following (if you get no output from the command above then stop here and let me know):

gspca_main main driver
gspca_xxxx subdriver module for your specific webcam

to remove the webcam module in the terminal type:

Code:

rmmod gspca_xxxx

substitute xxxx for your specific module

should you remove gspca_main next or other modules that are listed? Maybe, but I don't know for certain. I'll let you experiment here.

After removing the webcam modules close the terminal window and begin the installation.

Good luck!
