Hi! Did "Cheese" go away? Can't install it any more. And "Camera" is an unsatisfactory replacement. And, I downloaded the "Cheese" package and tried to install it, but even then the system says it can't find cheese. From my screen:
No more Cheese?
- Thread starter Scribe1
- Start date
works fine on my LMDE [and is installed as standard]
Thanks! I did install LMDE7, but I went back to the other Mint distro because I got tired of typing my password every time I tried to do something.
it should be in the mint repository [software manager] but you will need to uninstall any earlier vesions of apps that may conflict
Cheese installs and works fine here on Mint 22.3- Cinnamon. It was in the repository no problem.
This is what I would try.
Then reinstall it from the mint repository
This is what I would try.
Code:
sudo apt purge cheese
Code:
sudo apt install cheese

I've always had summat of a "love / hate" relationship with Cheese.....or, to be more technically correct, with the gStreamer 'framework' that it runs on.
Anything more fussy & unstable I've yet to see.....but Cheese certainly does seem to be very popular, for all that.
My personal preferences are usually either GUCView, or Webcamoid. The latter comes as an AppImage:-
webcamoid.github.io
....and the former, a staple of the repositories, I long ago built into a self-contained 'portable' app (both 64- AND 32-bit).
And for custom scripting / utility-building, the command-line 'v4lc' and 'ffmpeg' take some beating.

Webcamoid, The ultimate webcam suite!
Webcamoid is a camera capture app focused on providing all major features required by power users with a very simple and intuitive interface

Where did you get the download from ? HERE ?
That page states : This site has been retired. For up to date information, see handbook.gnome.org or gitlab.gnome.org. (these sites require logging in....messy)
All info on this site is out of date and should not be used.
Running LM22.3 here....access the Software manager.... Cheese...click on install......Done.
It works.
