I recently installed Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 (it came with GNOME 3.8, but I replaced it by GNOME 3.10) and after a few problems, the only one I couldn't solve was the screenshot problem.

When I press the PrtSc key, nothing happens. No sound, no nothing. When I execute it via Terminal by writing "Gnome-Screenshot", it does work and saves a screenshot in my Pictures folder.

I have already tried to re-install the program, but still didn't work. I also tried to create a shortcut with this command line, but still nothing happened. I tried to replace the PrtSc key by another one, just for make sure the problem wasn't in the key, and it still failed.

Can anyone help me?

via terminal

  • How did you try assigning the command to `PrtSc`? Through the gnome-settings? – Seth Nov 03 '13 at 21:44
  • Yes. I disabled the PrtSc key as the default screenshot key in the original settings and added a new command in the custom shortcuts tab. – Lucas Zanella Nov 04 '13 at 14:55

There should be an entire section of the keyboard settings designated to screenshot:

(Run gnome-control-center keyboard shortcuts)

Keyboard Settings

If that fails, gnome-screenshot itself has a control window

(Run gnome-screenshot --interactive)

Gnome Screenshot

Using Gnome 3.8.
