Description Adalbert.Hanssen 2019-03-30 21:41:30 CET
This bug report pertains to xfce4-screenshooter 1.8.2 run under Xubuntu 16.0.6 LTS, currently under a linux kernel 4.4.0-143-generic x86_64.

Apparently there is a bug in xfce4-screenshooter with options -cf. There is no full screen image on the clipboard according to Gimp called after such an operation.


man xfce4-screenshoter

does not tell about any incompatibility between options -c and -f.


Steps to reproduce:

1. open a command line.
2. issue the command
    xfce4-screenshoter -cf
3. open a gimp session (or any other suitable image manipulation tool
4. try to insert the clipboard

I step 4 I expect a full screen screenshot being placed.

Very likely a dup of Bug #13537.
Comment 2 Andre Miranda editbugs 2019-08-26 01:40:34 CEST
Probably fixed with xfce4-settings 4.14.1, reopen if not.

I have seen (on this occasion) that there is a new version 4.14 of xfce4. 

Is there a new package for Ubuntu 16.04? Is there one for Ubuntu 18.04?

If there is no package: Does it have a realistic chance to work to compile the new package from its sources and install it (I have never compiled a package myself, it would be my first trial).

I don't think 4.14 will be backported to LTS versions.

You're better off with PPAs: https://launchpad.net/~unit193/+archive/ubuntu/xfce

If you want to try to compile from source:
wget https://archive.xfce.org/src/apps/xfce4-screenshooter/1.9/xfce4-screenshooter-1.9.5.tar.bz2
tar xf xfce4-screenshooter-1.9.5.tar.bz2
cd xfce4-screenshooter-1.9.5
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
src/xfce4-screenshooter
