I found a workaround for this problem: 1. sudo apt-get install gconf-editor (or search in Software Center) 2. fire it up and change /apps/comorama/preferences/save_dir from "~/Webcam_Pictures" to "Webcam_Pictures"
So this is just a simple typo in the camorama.schemas.in from the source package. I hope some developer knows where to report or fix that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/843393 Title: When I press "take picture" it reports an error "Cannot create directory '~/Webcam_Pictures'" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/camorama/+bug/843393/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
