Title:
Cheese does not show preferences/options/menus to non-GNOME Users
Status in cheese package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in cheese package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
[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?
(Partial?) WORKAROUND is to use dconf-editor:
dconf-editor /org/gnome/cheese
