=== lotuspsychje_ is now known as lotuspsychje [12:14] mknepper: wich commandline do you use? [12:15] Hello, I'm reporting a bug in 20.04 LTS. Gnome-screenshot does not send images to the clipboard if you use the command line (gnome-screenshot -c or gnome-screenshot --clipboard) - this goes for adding a custom keyboard shortcut in the system settings as well (search for Keyboard Shortcuts in menu, open, add shortcut with options gnome-screenshot -c). [12:15] lotuspsychje, gnome-screenshot -c or gnome-screenshot --clipboard [12:15] Either will not send data to the clipboard [12:15] However! if you use the GUI, it -does- work [12:20] mknepper: yeah seems like that isnt working like you say [12:20] how do you download focal fossa? it's not on ubuntu site [12:20] Miles8of9: see the topic for the daily iso [12:20] lotuspsychje, yeah, I'm not sure why either. I don't know how to file a bug report for that either or I would [12:21] mknepper: to file a bug on ubuntu, please use ubuntu-bug packagename [12:21] will I be able to describe the problem or will it just send data? [12:21] mknepper: both [12:21] awesome. I'll file that now [12:22] Miles8of9: just keep in mind 20.04 is in development in this stage, breakage can still happen, for testers only [12:27] before installing 18.04 i want to test drive a bit the latest version [12:27] maybe it won't even boot [12:28] it boots [12:40] mknepper: it does copy, when you just gnome-screenshot [12:41] it doesn't for me for some reason [12:41] without the -c ? [12:41] yes [12:41] I'm not seeing it my clipboard history either [12:41] it works fine if I use the GUI [12:42] mknepper: did you tweak hotkeys or something? [12:42] I added a hotkey for gnome-screenshot -a -c [12:42] to screenshot an area and copy it to clipboard [12:42] but even running just gnome-screenshot in the terminal gives me nothing [12:42] thats weird indeed [12:43] here it works, without the arguments [12:43] i wish gnome-screenshot had a way to display stuff in verbose in the terminal [12:43] that's really weird, shouldn't you have to specify that it copies to the clipboard? [12:43] i thought by default gnome-screenshot just saved a .png with the timestap as the filename [12:43] *timestamp [12:43] it does here [12:44] mknepper: can you try this on a new user please? [12:44] yes, let me set up another user [12:47] thats a no-go [12:47] so doesnt work either? [12:48] no, here's a screenshot of just using 'gnome-screenshot' from the terminal [12:48] https://imgur.com/a/eNq69kk [12:48] and one of using 'gnome-screenshot --clipboard' [12:48] https://imgur.com/a/ifEtD7k [12:49] so I'm not sure what's going on. this fossa install is up to date [12:49] and they dont create a pic in your pictures folder neither? [12:49] it does create a pic in the pictures folder [12:49] that part works [12:49] ah [12:49] it just doesn't copy to the clipboard from command line [12:49] just the clipboard [12:49] right ic [12:49] yeah so weird [12:49] and it copies to the clipboard IF you use the GUI [12:50] so somehow the GUI works but CLI doesnt, not sure what the difference is [12:50] maybe the gnome-devs changed something and it hasn't been updated yet, idk [12:50] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screenshot/+bug/1733890 [12:50] Launchpad bug 1733890 in gnome-screenshot (Ubuntu) "Copy to clipboard not working" [Undecided,Confirmed] [12:51] my main user is set up as an adminstrator, didn't work, the tester user is a standard user, same thing [12:51] oh, interesting [12:51] i couldn't find that bug [12:51] that looks a little different though [12:52] mknepper: can you try #13 paste into gmail? [12:52] yes let me try to paste into a gmail message [12:53] doesn't work [12:53] kk [12:54] itd be really useful if i could get some sort of verbose output to see what's going on but Idk how to do that [12:54] journalctl -f to see logs about your system [12:55] not seeing it in there either. some stuff covering the terminal and ffaudio-core but thats it [12:56] perhaps proceed with a new bug mknepper [12:56] okay, running the GUI, i got something [12:57] https://pastebin.com/PHyjUSNT [12:59] !info gnome-screenshot [12:59] gnome-screenshot (source: gnome-screenshot): screenshot application for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 3.33.90-1ubuntu1 (focal), package size 52 kB, installed size 308 kB [12:59] is your version right mknepper ^ [12:59] let me double check [12:59] yes, 3.33.90 [13:00] i have an idea. what if i have to specify the X display? [13:00] gnome-screenshot --clipboard --display=default_display [13:00] Idk how to do it, like, what i'd put in there [13:00] but here: Jan 29 06:55:42 ubuntu dbus-daemon[1886]: [session uid=1000 pid=1886] Activating service name='org.gnome.seahorse.Application' requested by ':1.40' (uid=1000 pid=2249 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell " label="unconfined") [13:00] is :1.40 the X display? [13:01] i think the display argument is just when you want to specify another then default [13:02] hmm. [13:02] but do try [13:02] i couldn't get it to work, but then again I don't know how to specific an X display [13:02] Also, I pasted the wrong thing [13:02] Jan 29 06:55:42 ubuntu dbus-daemon[1886]: [session uid=1000 pid=1886] Activating service name='org.gnome.Screenshot' requested by ':1.40' (uid=1000 pid=2249 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell " label="unconfined") [13:03] that happens when you run the GUI, but nothing happens in the journalctl if you use the commandline option [13:03] i guess I could just find another screenshot application [13:08] mknepper: try ctrl+prtscr [13:08] that works for me [13:12] That worked [13:13] ctrl+shift+prntscrn worked too [13:14] strange, wonder what Ubuntu is using as the default command that makes it work vs. using the command line [13:24] mknepper: how about you proceed with the bug, let the devs fight it out? [13:24] sounds good [13:24] will do, ty [13:24] use ubuntu-bug ok [13:28] Okay, someone else reported the same bug for 19.10 [13:28] Selected "Affects me" [13:28] whats the ID plz mknepper [13:29] #1852679 [13:30] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screenshot/+bug/1852679 [13:30] Launchpad bug 1852679 in gnome-screenshot (Ubuntu) "CLI to copy to clipboard does not work" [Undecided,Confirmed] [13:30] tnx [13:31] nice find mknepper affected too [13:31] I added some basic info in my comments [13:31] Hope this helps :) [13:32] mknepper: please mention its on 20.04 [13:32] I did [13:33] ah my bad, had to reload :p [13:34] haha no worries. hopefully we can figure out what's causing this. thanks again. I'll keep hunting down bugs. [13:34] cool tnx for helping out mknepper [13:35] lemme try that on bionic holdon [13:38] mknepper: works on bionic, tested by 2 users [13:43] hmm [13:43] so something changed from bionic up [13:43] yes the version :p [14:14] hahaha [14:14] :p === JanC is now known as Guest16482 === JanC_ is now known as JanC
