2020-09-20 02:14:07 Daniel Letzeisen description Cheese has removed the GUI method of accessing preferences for non-GNOME users. https://github.com/GNOME/cheese/commit/48882da6a6dc4fc1c19e15f5210c9e10feb67ff5#diff-b2b45275b16940829b5f6f068943108d I'm not sure if upstream cheese devs care enough to fix it: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cheese/-/issues/62 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cheese/-/issues/52 Should Xubuntu default to a different camera program, such as guvcview? (Partial?) WORKAROUND is to use dconf-editor: dconf-editor /org/gnome/cheese [Impact] Cheese no longer displays its menu button on non-GNOME desktop environments. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cheese/-/issues/62 Xubuntu uses cheese as its default camera program. Advanced users can still change these settings through dconf-editor, but this is neither convenient nor intuitive. [Test Case] Use the cheese program in Xubuntu/xfce, Kubuntu/KDE or other non-GNOME desktop environments. Notice missing menu in titlebar. [Regression Potential] The most likely regression would be if the patch disabled the menu in GNOME. Testing has not shown this to be an issue. [ORIGINAL REPORT] Cheese has removed the GUI method of accessing preferences for non-GNOME users. https://github.com/GNOME/cheese/commit/48882da6a6dc4fc1c19e15f5210c9e10feb67ff5#diff-b2b45275b16940829b5f6f068943108d I'm not sure if upstream cheese devs care enough to fix it: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cheese/-/issues/62 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cheese/-/issues/52 Should Xubuntu default to a different camera program, such as guvcview?
