I clicked a picture from my webcam while installing ubuntu. I can see that picture when I am being prompted for a password. I want that picture of mine.

So my question is, where can i find the images clicked by my webcam.

enter image description here

ankit@stream:/var/lib/AccountsService/icons$ ls -l
total 0
ankit@stream:/var/lib/AccountsService/icons$

ankit@stream:/var/lib/AccountsService/users$ cat  /var/lib/AccountsService/users/ankit

ankit@stream:/var/lib/AccountsService/users$

You will most probably find it in /var/lib/AccountsService/icons/USERNAME

However, there are some more info about that in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/USERNAME (this is a text file)

Edit: This seems to have been answered before. Where is the user's profile picture stored in Gnome 3?

If you physically clicked on a button on your web camera, there's 99% chance it doesn't work on Linux.

You have to install and use a program like cheese.

You can install it from the Ubuntu software center.

I think that the images (created using cheese) are saved in the Pictures folder.
