Gnome Cheese settings/prefs menu is missing





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

Running cheese from the cmdline reports no errors, and "cheese -v" reports "Cheese 3.32.1" thus the app should display a preferences/settings menu button, but none is displayed. (Functions as if it expects the desktop to support the global appmenu, which it doesn't, and AFAIK support for which has been removed from the app.)



Xubuntu 18.04.2 LTS, Cinnamon Desktop 3.8.9 (Same issue with XFCE Desktop)

As I wrote, I seem to be missing something...

    How did you install cheese ? It appear cheese 3.32.1 not available for 18.04

  • I added the DEBs to my local repo. Same issue with the versions in Bionic and Cosmic; I "upgraded" to see if the issue had been fixed. I have a bookshelf computer still running Xenial (Cheese 3.18, I think) and the menu displays there.

  • I haven't tested it, but there's an extension for Cinnamon that supposedly enables support for the global appmenu, but my understanding is that's precisely what has been removed from Gnome apps like Cheese; that the appmenu is now supposed to be in the app itself. So...???

  • FWIW, I also tried running "cheese --g-fatal-warnings" but Cheese runs fine, except for the missing menu, and exits without displaying any messages.
