Title:
gnome-screenshot will no longer save screenshots anywhere
Status in gnome-screenshot package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
It was working quite alright 2 weeks ago. I have changed nothing since
then.
Tonight, when trying to screencap for the gnome-sushi bug, it would
flash as if taking a screencap for both fullscreen, and selected area
style screenshots.
However, it wouldn't save the screenshot anywhere.
I'm not certain where it used to save (by default, up until 2 weeks
ago), but I think it was Pictures.
If I search in Nautilus for "Screenshot from 2017-10-30" I see
previous screenshots, up until 10-30, and there are no screenshots
saved from today, or anything since 2 weeks ago.
I tried changing the auto-save-directory in gconf, as well as via
terminal commands. I tried with different styles: "file:///......" as
well as simply "/home...." No matter what, screenshots still flash and
make the click sound, but do not save in the directory. Not Desktop,
Pictures, /tmp, Downloads.
If I call "gnome-screenshot --interactive" from Terminal, the save
dialog does successfully save the screenshot.
I have no idea how to replicate this bug, because I did nothing to
create this bug. Just 2 weeks after taking several successful
screenshots, gnome-screenshot no longer saves screenshots. Anywhere.
