Since mugshot repo hase been moved to github, I want to archive this repo. And contibute to that repo instead. .

Mugshot is a lightweight user configuration utility that allows you to easily update personal user details. The original repo is at https://launchpad.net/mugshot

For now the difference from recent mugshot(0.4.1) just is:

• Circle crop

• Add feature to move cropped area
• Add feature to zoom cropped area

There will two ways to install this program. System (wide) install and virtualenv install

• chfn,
• python3-gi,
• python3-pexpect,
• python3-dbus,
• python3-cairo
• gstreamer1.0-plugins-good, (optional)
• gstreamer1.0-tools, (optional)
• gir1.2-cheese-3.0, (optional)
• gir1.2-gtkclutter-1.0, (optional)

• First install all the dependencies
• Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/ekickx/mugshot-git.git

• Enter directory

cd mugshot-git

python3 setup.py build
sudo python3 setup.py install

NOTE: If you get the following error:

(mugshot:22748): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'apps.mugshot' is not installed

be sure to copy data/glib-2.0/schemas/apps.mugshot.gschema.xml to either:

/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas, or

/usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas

and run glib-compile-schemas on that directory before running.

Virtualenv is a tool which allows us to make isolated python environments. It prevents mugshot to break your system if something goes wrong

• First install virtualenv and pip

sudo apt install virtualenv python3-virtualenv python3-pip

• Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/ekickx/mugshot-git.git

• Enter directory

cd mugshot-git

• Create and activate virtualenv

virtualenv -p python3 virtual_env
source virtual_env/bin/activate

• Install the dependency(distutils)

wget https://launchpadlibrarian.net/236120080/python-distutils-extra-2.39.tar.gz
tar -xvzf python-distutils-extra-2.39.tar.gz
python python-distutils-extra-2.39/setup.py build
python python-distutils-extra-2.39/setup.py install
rm -r python-distutils-extra-2.39

• Install the rest dependencies

pip install pygobject pexpect dbus-python

• Build and install

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

• To run the program type

/path_to_virtualenv/bin/mugshot

sudo python setup.py install --record files.txt  
xarg sudo rm -rf < files.txt

You just need to remove virtualenv folder to uninstall

rm -r /path_to_virtualenv/
