  • I would suggest you to install Kamerka .Cheese sometimes gives poor picture quality as well as it stops working while recording a video.

Many applications are installed while Ubuntu is being installed but later removed to make the OS lighter and free from unwanted applications.

Some of them are:

  • gparted- the application that you see when you partition your disk during installation

  • cheese- the application that clicks your photo using your webcam during installation

To install cheese, go to your dash and type "software center", open the application and type "cheese" in the search bar on the top-right corner and click on "Install".
