gnome-screenshot (3.16.2) doesn't work from keyboard shortcut or Budgie run menu

[geckolinux]

Hi there,

I'm the guy testing Budgie on openSUSE Leap 42.1. Thanks a lot for packaging it!

I'm having trouble with gnome-screenshot (version 3.16.2). For some reason, it doesn't appear at all in the Budgie start menu. Its icon does appear when I type gnome-screenshot in the alt+F2 run menu, but it won't open from there. Also the PrtSc shortcut is correctly configured but doesn't work (doesn't create a screenshot in ~/Pictures and doesn't open the gnome-screenshot interface), and only produces a low "ding" sound.

The only way I could use gnome-screenshot was via the terminal.

I'm not sure if this is an openSUSE packaging difference, or if it's possibly a Gnome / GTK 3.16 issue? I'll attach the gnome-screenshot .desktop file in the next post.

Thanks for looking into this!

This is a missing feature, org.gnome.Shell.Screenshot DBus interface is not implemented yet. (solus-project#261)

[Justinzobel]

Run from terminal gnome-screenshot -i to get the interface as a workaround until #261 is completed.

[ikeydoherty]

Closing as a dupe of #261

I did this in budgie-remix (unofficial ubuntu flavor with budgie desktop as standard)
Follow this steps:

1 - In terminal type sudo apt-get install xbindkeys to install xbindkeys

2 - next run xbindkeys --defaults > ~/.xbindkeysrc to create a file xbinkeys config file

3 - In settings remove the printscreen shortcut on settings > keyboard > shortcuts

4 - In terminal type nano ~/.xbinkeysrc and in the last line before "end of xbindkeys configuration " add:

"gnome-screenshot"
Mod2 + Print
Like this

5 - Save the file ctrl+ o

Hope it helps
