Troubleshooting • Re: Trixie, flameshot gui not working.

Here's a screencap of Flameshot taking a screencap in a Wayland session with Trixie 13.2.

Now you see it works.

First I installed Flameshot with apt and it wouldn't work.
Then removed it and installed it with Pi-Apps. Flameshot is one of the apps that PI-Apps installer supports. And it worked perfectly at once...

To your second question : Raspi OS comes with "grim" which is set by default to capture the fullscreen when you press the PrintScreen key on your keyboard.
You can also make it offer to select an area to capture in many ways :

- from the terminal, type :

Code:

grim -g "$(slurp)"

- create your own script like :

Code:

#!/bin/shscreencap=$(zenity --question --title="Screen Capture" --text="Select Fullscreen or Zone" --switch --extra-button="Fullscreen" --extra-button="Select Zone" --icon="eom")case "$screencap" in"Fullscreen") grim ;;"Select Zone") grim -g "$(slurp)" ;;esac

- or edit your labwc rc.xml file to add a new key binding like

Code:

    <keybind key="S-Print">    <action name="Execute">        <command>sh -c 'grim -g "$(slurp)"' </command>   </action>    </keybind>

Here by pressing Shift + Printscreen, you will be offered to select an area to capture.

Alternatively you can modify the current key binding so that PrintScreen Key calls your script for example...

Hope this helps
