Archisman, the commit that caused this issue was first included in cheese 3.32.x version. Ubuntu Bionic/18.04 has cheese 3.28.x and should not be affected. (Or have you tested and confirmed that it does?)
As for a separate PPA, I don't see the need. This patch should be included upstream and/or Ubuntu should SRU it. The other packages in my PPA should not affect most users, and those that use projectm probably want the version available in my PPA, (because projectm standalone binaries did not make it into 20.04 due to python2 removal timing). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cheese in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879183 Title: Cheese does not show preferences/options/menus to non-GNOME Users Status in cheese package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: 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?
