I'm using Cinnamon and the same thing happens - CLI `gnome-screenshot --area --clipboard` fails to capture to the clipboard. Instead, it gives the following errors:
``` ** Message: 17:49:49.673: Unable to select area using GNOME Shell's builtin screenshot interface, resorting to fallback X11. ** Message: 17:49:58.422: Unable to use GNOME Shell's builtin screenshot interface, resorting to fallback X11. ``` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screenshot in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852679 Title: CLI to copy to clipboard does not work Status in gnome-screenshot package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I just upgraded today to 19.10. I have a keyboard shortcut setup to run gnome-screenshot --area -c to allow me to do quick screen grabs. I can confirm that if I use the screenshot dialog I can copy to the clipboard with that but using the CLI version of the same function does not work. It looks like it functions normal but when you go to paste the screenshot that you just took, nothing happens. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 19.10 Release: 19.10 apt-cache policy gnome-screenshot gnome-screenshot: Installed: 3.33.90-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.33.90-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.33.90-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screenshot/+bug/1852679/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
