Dear Arthur and Mario! For me it seems that this is a hardware issue (keyboard, keyboard driver or something).
As far I can understand Mario has Pavilion DV6 (keyboard photo is here - http://www.nix.ru/include/view-photo.html?good_id=118704&pid=2253). According to photo of the keyboard Fn+Delete combination is an undocummented combination. May be keyboard driver identifies keyboard hardware layout wrong. Could you, guys please install 'x11-utils' package (with 'sudo apt-get install x11-utils') and run 'xev' program? This program collects all graphics server input events (keyboard, touchpad, mouse and other buttons). Please do the following steps: 1. Open gnome-terminal 2. Send command 'xev -event keyboard' 3. Press PrintScreen button on keyboard. Copy 'xev' output below KeyRelease somewhere (text editor or launchpad comment). 4. Clear gnome-terminal from which 'xev' was started (Terminal - Reset and clear or <Alt>,<t>,<l>). 5. Press Fn+Del button on keyboard. Copy 'xev' output below KeyRelease somewhere (text editor or launchpad comment). I have Asus UX32a laptop (keyboard photo is here http://www.nix.ru/include/view-photo.html?good_id=148803&pid=2253). I can make a screenshot only with <PrintScreen> key on any session of Ubuntu 14.04 and 12.04. For <PrintScreen> button 'xev' produces the following output: KeyRelease event, serial 44, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001, root 0x9d, subw 0x0, time 2797480, (-339,166), root:(448,218), state 0x0, keycode 107 (keysym 0xff61, Print), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False On my laptop <Fn+Del> means <Insert> (see keyboard photo), so it does not work as <PrintScreen>, 'xev' reports the following: KeyRelease event, serial 44, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001, root 0x9d, subw 0x0, time 2894533, (-324,567), root:(463,619), state 0x0, keycode 118 (keysym 0xff63, Insert), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1282649 Title: Unable to make screenshot with <PrintScreen> key in Unity session in Trusty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-settings-daemon/+bug/1282649/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
