Thank you, Camilio! I had the same problem, and tried the above xev/xmodmap fix and eventually got it to work. But my keymap was different --
Fedora 20, KDE. Machine is an HP laptop, Pavilion dv6 (dv61-7000). 1. PrtSc does nothing. 2. xmodmap -pk | grep Print returns 191 0xff61 (Print) 0xff15 (Sys_Req) 0xff61 (Print) 0xff15 (Sys_Req) 218 0xff61 (Print) 0x0000 (NoSymbol) 0xff61 (Print) 3. xmodmap -e "keycode 191 = Sys_Req" 4. PrtSc now correctly lauches ksnapshot. 5. xmodmap -pk | grep Print now returns 218 0xff61 (Print) 0x0000 (NoSymbol) 0xff61 (Print) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1243733 Title: PrtScrn button does not produce screenshot in kubuntu saucy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdebase-workspace/+bug/1243733/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
