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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese/+bug/1879183/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
