Thank you for your bug report, that could be done in g-s-d indeed, do we have a rational on why cheese should be recommended?
- our default im client support video calls so the webcam already has an use without installing cheese - cheese is in universe and not well maintained in Ubuntu, do we really want to recommend something we don't maintain? - what if the user has something similar to cheese already installed (I didn't check but I guess the archive has other softwares that let you play with a webcam and take photos) ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/916036 Title: Connecting a webcam for the first time does nothing Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 1. Connect an external webcam for the first time, while all these are true: - you are logged in - Ubuntu Software Center is installed - Cheese is not installed. What happens: Nothing. (Disclaimer: I have not actually tested this.) What should happen: * A "Camera Connected" dialog appears: "You have connected a camera. Would you like to install software for taking photos and videos with the camera?" * If you choose "Cancel", the dialog disappears, and you don't see it again. * If you choose "More Info", the dialog disappears, and Ubuntu Software Center opens to display information about Cheese. I'm told gnome-settings-daemon is the appropriate place for this code; please retarget if not. (This is part of <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ps-p -indicator-refinements>.)
