The following additional packages will be installed: cheese-common gnome-desktop3-data gnome-video-effects gstreamer1.0-clutter-3.0 libcheese-gtk25 libcheese8 libclutter-1.0-0 libclutter-1.0-common libclutter-gst-3.0-0 libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 libcogl-common libcogl-pango20 libcogl-path20 libcogl20 libgnome-desktop-3-17 libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18 libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 libyelp0 yelp yelp-xsl Cheese comes with an acceptable amount of " gnomish" dependencies but before installing it I am looking for a more Qt-pure alternative.
Kamera comes by default but it doesn't even see the laptop camera, asks me to select one in a full alphabetical list, Komoso is absent, Kamerka is very basic (no video). I know how to use VLC for this but what other options are there?
By "alternative to Cheese" I basically mean one that would quickly allow image and video capture.

According to the description in apt show kamoso, it's a "tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam".
If you want to read about it before installing, the man page for 18.04 is here: .
sudo apt install kamoso
