Does anyone experience disappearing camera in Skype? Basically camera sometimes disappears in Skype (showing something like 'no video device' in Options) but appears again after a reboot. Not a major issue but annoying.

Solved for me. Would like to have a link in here to complain about the intel/microsoft collusion that is creeping in...

Are there any new options for the graphics drivers, now that 12.04 is out. I have tried Bumblebee and it only screwed up my display.

Bumblebee has been working for me even on 11.10 and it's still on 12.04. Maybe you did some non-standard steps before installing it. I think bumblebee does not like NVIDIA proprietary drivers, so if you installed them prior to bumblebee, that could be problem...

I suggest you reading the bumblebee documentation and FAQ maybe?

Yes, but the "support" is up to 12.04...

Got the same issue on 12.10, the fix on the wikipage does not work. It was not working before update either though.

If someone got it working, could you please post your /etc/default/grub file or anything else that could be of any help?

USB3 (the port on the right) has been running without problems since 11.10 I think. If I remember well, I just disabled some "constant power" function or what in BIOS - the feature which enables to give power to USB even when the laptop is not running. I do not need it anyway... Give it a try.

Hi all,

i have problem with wake up in kubuntu 12.10. System wakes up, but then it freezes. I found, that problem occurs only when i have bluetooth enabled and connected 1 device to it (mouse). If bluetooth disabled, or even when enabled, but no devices connected - all works fine. In kubuntu 12.04 all was great. Tried tweaks on wiki page about suspend/resume and also bluetooth, but it takes no effect. Have anybody such problem? Thanks for help
