[Bug 916036] Re: Connecting a webcam for the first time does nothing
Thanks for that info. Ideally we'd ship a photo-taking app by default, as we used to. For as long as we don't, I think it's reasonable to ask about it the first time a webcam is connected, even though the webcam might be used for video calls instead (or as well). If there is a better application to suggest (Camorama?), then let's offer to install that instead, and make it subject for review each release in the same way that default Ubuntu's applications are. We could also change the Cheese is not installed precondition to none of Cheese, Camorama, or Kamoso are installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/916036/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 916036] Re: Connecting a webcam for the first time does nothing
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 Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/916036/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
