[Bug 84278] Re: infinite loop with PrintScreen
on hp compaq nx8220 with Ubuntu 9.04 I can reproduce this infinite screenshot loop every time with the following condtions: Usually I will also have many programmes open at once; terminal, the Gimp, Open Office, Firefox with 12 or more tabs, Claws-mail and Gedit. Then with a big Grep running: say on my entire home directory - so that my processor is chugging away at full capacity - I might take a screenshot of something and kappow! Gnome screenshot consistently starts an infinite loop when these conditions are present. -- infinite loop with PrintScreen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84278 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have the same bug on a laptop HP Pavilion ze4200 ubuntu 9.04 As a workaround, I moved the gnome-screenshot to gnome-screenshot-real and creted a shell script in place of gnome-screenshot : The script is echo Bug gnome-screenshot | logger Like this i can see if the bug is happening again Then in the log I see that my script is called 700 times, but I cannot find what is the key that repeat indefinitly I tried xev, but I cannot find the key I'll keep you in touch here, this is very annoying bug -- infinite loop with PrintScreen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84278 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 84278] Re: infinite loop with PrintScreen
I have had this problem on a dell laptop to the point I had to reload the system from the installation disk. The bug is sometimes extremely persistent, surviving pulling the power cord, and ejecting the battery to force a shutdown. Last time I tried the xset -r 111 idea and it eventually worked after I brute forced a terminal session, entered the command and closed all the instances of the print screen dialog. I am interested in knowing what causes the problem and everything else on the kde desktop to be so persistent - when I want this behavior there seems to be no way to get it to happen... -- infinite loop with PrintScreen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84278 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Now that I have recovered and upgraded to the latest of everything ... the system is totally hosed. Gets a garbage message about being unable to launch a graphical configuration tool because displayconfig-gtk is not installed, and some giberish about manually configuring Xorg. Well. I have manually configured X before. Lets put it in plain anglais ... is easier to start over or find a better distro. Ubuntu will not seem to run consistantly for a single month without being re-installed or otherwise fiddled with.

Holding Alt+PrintScreen did bring up multiple instances of gnome- screenshot on Gutsy Gibbon.

[Bug 84278] Re: infinite loop with PrintScreen
This problem seems to be caused by the repeat keys feature in Keyboard preferences. When I switch off repeat keys, I get one screenshot, as expected. Only with repeat keys on, I get multiple screenshots. I would say this type of special keys / key combinations should not be repeated by the repeat keys feature. -- infinite loop with PrintScreen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84278 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 84278] Re: infinite loop with PrintScreen
Instead of disabling repeat keys for all keys, you can disable repeat for only the print key with xset -r 111. 111 is the keycode for the print key on pc105 keyboards; for some keyboards another value may be needed. Putting this command in /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default will set it automatically at login. -- infinite loop with PrintScreen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84278 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 84278] Re: infinite loop with PrintScreen
As a workaround gnome-screenshot could check if any other instances of itself are running and quit if this is the case.

It's unclear where the bug lies (possibly X), but definitely not GNOME, as it is reported to affect KDE as well.

[Bug 84278] Re: infinite loop with PrintScreen
Indeed it looks like an X problem. Can verify with 'xinit xev -- :1' OTOH starting multiple screenshot apps for a single _long_ press of PrintScreen is also wrong.
