This is the first time I have tried to take a photo via my Logitech webcam using VLC - (Is there another way to take a photo?). When selecting video capture the system appears to freeze, although the mouse will still move around the screen but the buttons and the keyboard do not work.
The webcam and all other software have been operating on my system for some time with no issue
Mint 18 Cinnamon 64 bit V3.0.7
AMD FX8320
7.8GiB memory
128GB SSD exclusively for the OS
500GB disk for storage
NVIDIA GeForce GT640
Any suggestions?
