Print Screen does not take a screenshot

Support & Help Requests

Since the last update pressing "Print Screen" brings up the following error message:

"There was an error running mate-screenshot:

Failed to execute child process “mate-screenshot” (No such file or directory)"

GNOME screenshot is only available via the Applications menu and it looks unnecessarily complicated.

I don't know whether the issue is with MATE's keyboard shortcuts or with the actual screenshot software.

Hi :slight_smile:

Do mate-screenshot is starting if you are running it from a command prompt ?

If not, you can try installing it with :

sudo apt install mate-screenshot

I had to use:

sudo apt install mate-utils

... but basically you were right.

Thank you, Sir!

I owe you a beer.
