I have upgraded my Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 18.04 and now the print screen is not working.
It works on Ubuntu 17.04 with Unity, however neither via upgrade or a fresh install, does the screenshot keyboard button work on Ubuntu 17.10 with GNOME shell.
Can anyone tell me why or how to fix it?
I'm unable to use my print screen button in Ubuntu 14.04. No effect pressing print screen. Screen-shot application works if it's launched manually.
PS: Still does not work perfectly neither in 15.04
When I use the print screen key - PrtSc - I get the option of where to save. That works fine.
However when I shift-ctrl-PrtSc I hear the picture being 'taken' but I don't get a chance to specify the location.
I have checked the following locations and they do NOT have the screenshot:
My Desktop
My Documents
My home directory
Are there any sort of configuration options for specifying the default save location for gnome-screenshot, or is this hard-coded into the source code?
It used to be ~/Desktop, which seems to have changed to ~/Pictures (in 12.04).
The only possible solution I've seen is about Setting the default name (as it includes time stamp information now instead of simply 'Screenshot#'), but that solution doesn't really seem ideal to me.
Also, this post suggested that the last save location is remembered the next time you take a screenshot, but in my experience, this doesn't seem to be the case. And in any case, following on from that, that entry in gconf-editor doesn't even seem to accurately reflect the last location, so more than likely an entry related to an older version of gnome-screenshot.
