Gnome 3.4.1 Print Screen won't take screenshots.

I've updated to Gnome 3.4, and now the Print Screen key doesn't work.
If I press the key, the desktop blanks and I hear the shutter sound, but the screenshot dialog won't show up.
If I open the Screenshot tool, and press Take Screenshot, it blanks and plays the shutter sound, and the dialog appears.
So far, I can save the screenshot to the clipboard using Ctrl + Print
Any help?

  • Camera works fine; won't take screenshots or save emailed photos to Camera Roll

    I can't make my iPhone 5c (IOS 7) save emailed photos or take screenshots. When I take a screenshot, the screen blinks like it's supposed to, but nothing shows up in my camera roll. Same with saving emailed pictures. Tried restarting and resetting; didn't find a relevant post on the forum. Could someone help?

    I did exactly as you suggested and the phone froze up and acted really funky. So I did a normal power cycle after your maneuver and viola! The camera snapped away click - click - click!!!! Thank you for the help -- as an embedded hardware engineer I wonder what has gone awry with the software.
    As I like to say (usually surrounding some goofiness with Windows) "somewhere there is a software engineer responsible for my misery."
    Thanks again.

  • My camera is not working, just a black screen, won't take pics please help

    WWhy won't my camera take pics..just a black screen ?

    CClose the camera app and reset the iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • IPod touch 4g won't take screenshot

    I just bought mine today, and I've tried pressing the hold and home button at the same time, but I still can't take a screenshot. Any suggestions?

    Nevermind, I just figured it out lol

    Have you tried resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    What is the "hold" button? The Users Guide says:
    "Take a screenshot: Quickly press and release the On/Off Sleep/Wake and Home
    buttons at the same time. A flash of the screen lets you know the screenshot was
    taken. The screenshot is added to the Camera Roll album. "
    The On/Off Sleep/Wake button is on the top left of the iPod.

  • Macbook Air won't take screenshot

    UGH! My macbook air is about 9 months old and its having some problems. First of all when it was just 3 months old it stopped taking photos, so annoying. But just today i tried taking a screenshot using shift, command 4 and shift command 3, It makes the sound but when it appears on my desktop its just grey. I dont know what is wrong but I've tried multiple times and it keeps happening...

  • Openbox Print Screen keybind Won't work

    In .config/openbox/rc.xml i've got:
    <!-- Screenshot -->
    <keybind key="Print">
    <action name="Execute">
    <command>scrot -q 100 -e 'mv $f ~/Screenshots/'</command>
    </action>
    </keybind>
    Nothing happens when i press the Print Screen key.I checked with Xev and X detects the print screen key as "Print", why is it not working? How can i make it work?

    It works for me, it just uses the default filename if i don't specify one.
    The command from the man page is
    scrot '%Y-%m-%d_$wx$h.png' -e 'mv $f ~/shots/'
    my command is
    scrot -q 100 -e 'mv $f ~/Screenshots/'
    It is the command from the man page minus the filename part.
    It seems I don't have to specify file name, the command works perfectly fine on my end, dunno why it fails for you :I (perhaps you don't have ~/Screenshots/ ?)
    I can try changing the command though, nothing to lose i guess. I'll just make it execute something i know to work, like terminator...
    Yes, i changed the keybind to "W-w" from "Print" and it opens terminator, but if it's set to "Print" nothing will happen.

  • My print screen function won't work on my iPhone 4S anymore

    My print screen function (power and home button being pressed at the same time) has stopped working on my iPhone 4S.  Have I accidentally turned something off? Is anyone else having this problem? 

    Well, thanks to a co-worker that was having the same problem on her iPhone 4 and new iPad, we figured out the problem. It is the Good for Enterprise app we have running on our devices for our business' email. Due to our business' policy on the phone, the screenshot is disabled as long as the policy is in effect on the phone. Sure wish they would've told us. Hopefully, this will help anybody else who's having the same problem.

  • How to use Print Screen function (part deux)?

    The previous thread for the Print Screen function has been marked as read only, and won't allow any replies. I tried all of the suggestions (PrtScr, CTRL + C + PrtScr, etc.) and then CTRL V into MS Paint, but Print Screen still doesn't work on my machine.
    I'm running Win 7 on a HP Pavilion laptop cv7-6b32us. I suspect there's a switch somewhere in Win 7 or HP that allows the key to be turned off. I know of this because my previous employer did not want anyone doing print screens due to HIPAA violations. Thus, the functionality was turned off. Those of us in I.T. were provided a third-party software that aloowed us to do the same function, but it was not released to the physicians or nursing staff. If I have to, I'll go out and buy the software. I really need this functionality for a class I'm taking.
    Thanks!

  • Unable to Print Screen Captivate 3's publish windows (minor)

    I know this is minor, but was wondering why I can't use my computer's Print Screen on the advanced publishing windows. I can take a print screen of the main Publish window, but if I click the eLearning output window or the preferences, it won't take a screen shot. Anyone know why or know if I need to do something different? I want to document all our settings for other users in my office.

    LOL, love your avatar of the green stop!
    What are you using? Plain old Print Screen? Perhaps try using a screen capture application? Perhaps even Captivate itself? Start two sessions and record the second with the first?

  • Photoshop Print Screen/Paste colors not working any more

    System. Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with Adobe CS4
    One thing I do all the time is this:
    Have something like Windows Internet Explorer open on a web page.
    I want a screen shot of Windows IE. So I press Ctrl-Alt-Print Screen.
    Then I open Adobe Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2) and go File/New and accept all the defaults.
    Then I press Ctrl-V to paste in the screen capture.
    Pretty standard stuff and it used to work fine. But recently it stopped working. Now when I paste, the colors displayed in Photoshop for the screen capture are all off. However if I save the file as a GIF or something, and open the GIF outside of photoshop, it's all good.
    I've tried all sorts of things to fix this. Nothing seems to work.
    Anyone know what is really going on here? This seems to have happened after performing some Windows updates.

    So how do I set up a "good custom monitor profile"?
    This is why people calibrate and profile their monitors. If you had a calibrator this wouldn't be a problem (and they're not that expensive).
    What you need is a profile that accurately describes the behavior of your particular monitor. Chances are the Dell profile does that better than sRGB, and a custom profile from a calibrator would be even better. Then Photoshop, which is color managed, will use that profile to display the image - but Internet Explorer, which is not (or not fully) color managed, will not use the profile.
    So there will be a difference between the two right there, and Photoshop will be right, and IE wrong.
    The way this works is similar to any other profile conversion, like when you convert a document from, say, Adobe RGB to sRGB. Photoshop converts from the document profile to the monitor profile, on the fly, as it displays the image. This way it compensates for the peculiarities of your monitor and what you see is what the file "really" looks like.
    So you can see what happens if your document profile is sRGB, and your monitor profile is sRGB: nothing happens. No profile conversion, no color management. This way Photoshop behaves exactly as Internet Explorer does. Everything you see on-screen, color managed or not color managed, will match. But it won't be right. One way to simulate this (with a good monitor profile) is to proof to Monitor RGB.
    As for the screenshot: when you paste that into a new document, the RGB numbers will refer to the monitor profile, not the document profile. This is why you assign the monitor profile to make it look like the original. Then you convert that to sRGB (or Adobe RGB etc) to bring it into a standard color space.

  • Print Screen in Parallels with 2010 MBP

    Is there a resource that will help me with items like getting a Print Screen (or Print Selection) while in Parallels and Windows 7 on my MacBookPro.
    I'm slowly learning this items for OSX but I can't seem to find a source for these while in Parallels.
    I'd utilize the Parallels Forums but there is some interminable bug that won't let me get in to ask this question.
    I am currently in email correspondence with their technical assistance who appear to have a time delay between emails that is measured in lightyears. This is a little like sending Morse Code correspondence back and forth to a monkey on Mars or something...
    Thanks for any help with this.

    Hi. This forum is fantastic and so critical as I try and smooth out the wrinkles.
    Can I ask you if you are aware of any locations for "mission critical" settings that might affect whether this method works?
    I tried this for both Print Screen and Alt + Print Screen and did not seem to have it take any action.
    Is it possible that Parallels placed it somewhere I can't find or that it simply did not take action since I did not hear any sound or see any action take place?
    Are there additional settings somewhere in OSX or Parallels that will affect what MBP wants to do with respect to these kinds of things?
    Many thanks again.

  • Print Screen key missing

    Hello, as you know Lenovo´s design team has decided to remove the "infamous" 3 windows keys that almost nobody used... sorry but I was a daily user of the Print screen key to get screen captures pasted to my documents and presentations, if you have ever used office´s onenote you know how useful is this simple application. To my surprise with the printscreen key removal the application to gather screen clippins has gone too, what weird pundit thought this was useless? Could you suggestme  a shortcut to this operation... some simple one please!
    I won´t like to have to open a new application, use some keys combination to select the screen portion, copy and paste to the application board, save as an image file, go to your document and insert the saved file... oh my god! all this for the sake of simple design!)
    You Know Mark I am a loyal Thinkpad user, always open to innovation and I like The Edge´s concept so much  that I bought one a month ago, but don´t you think you have gone too far?. I get almost crazy when I don´t know if my disk is working or the system has stalled because there isn´t a LED to indicate disk activity. Battery charged? you must boot your notebook and watch the screen indicator, same for bluetooth and wi-fi. How to configure trackpoint and touch pad? there is no any help in any place.
    You certainly did an extraordinary design work with the keyboard, trackpoint and touchpad, and some Thinkvantage applications present, but we feel you felt short behind possible perfection with the lack of such minimum details... take a look at Thinkpadsforum of Bill Morrow to sense the controversy.
    A last question, why didn´t you use the case design concept of the X100e. A nice departure from the black box, a nice red box. By the way... without the silver trimmings that bears our Edge cafeteria´s tray as resembled to some English computer reviewer .

    hi,
    i agree with u that , changes about fn function annoying , i also surprised when i cloudnt see PrintScreen on F keys , but then i saw there s PrtSc  on right down side between AltGr - Ctrl

    Hi I am new to this forum and am asking for your  help.  We are sharing a computer, the PrtSc key is working for the Administrator but not when we switch users.  We have tried everything that we can think of: From opening a the page(S) we want to paste to not opening the pages. My most common usage is to PrtSc and paste it into an email , but barring that we have tried opening a page in notes, documents, word etc . Nothing seems to work.  I do not get an error message , it just won't paste. Since we are not computer literate we are hoping you can help us with a solution .  Thanks in Advance .

  • LaserJet Pro 400M401n menu screen won't come on

    Sounds like an issue with the formatter or display itself.  Since the printer is only 3 months old it still should be under warranty.  Call hp customer care to have them get it going and if they can not they will offer options of sending a repair person or sending you a replacement printer.

    My LaserJet Pro 400M401n menu screen won't come on.  I've tried unplugging the printer, the computer, and rebooting the computer.  The power button on the printer shows that it's on, however, the menu screen itself remains gray.  Our MAC shows that the printer is "offline."  We've had the printer for about 3 months and have used it without any problems in the past 2 weeks.  Help?!?!
