The example given by the original poster shows he is in his home directory (~), but I'll add this here because *I* thought I'd found a bug in 'scrot' that led me here. What I experienced wasn't a bug at all. You can't run 'scrot' from inside a folder you don't have write permissions to unless you give it a full pathname to save somewhere else.
I was in some subdirectory of '/usr/share' and cursing at scrot because I was getting this error: giblib error: Saving to file 2010-07-11-170539_1600x1200_scrot.png failed 'cd'-ing to my home directory, of course, makes this error go away. Silly, I know, but scrot should probably pick up on the fact that it doesn't have write access and emit a more helpful error message (or default to user's home). Hopefully this helps someone. -- scrot can't save files without extension https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148659 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
