"Cheese" webcam software

#1 Post by az2020 »

Is it possible to have "Cheese" available for install in MX Linux?

https://github.com/GNOME/cheese

I used "Cheese" before (in Lubuntu) and liked it a lot. I'm going need it in a month.

If there's a similar application for MX Linux, I could do that. I don't need a lot of features. Just an ability to "snap" pictures from a USB attached webcam. Nothing more than that.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Thanks! I searched "cheese" from the default tab in MX Package Installer. I didn't realize I was looking at subset of what's available (popular applications), and needed to search the next tab (stable repro).

Thanks also for the alternative suggestion. I'll give that a try too.
