Public bug reported: I accidentally pushed the print screen button for 5 seconds.
Gnome started to create a big mass of Screenshot windows which got more and more. The system was nearly frozen, because of a lot of hard disk activity. I had to wait for a long time (20 minutes or more?) until the system was usable enough again to click the cancel button on every Screenshot window. Don't try this at home ;) My recommended solution: Only create one screenshot if you push the Print screen button. To create another screenshot the print screen button should be released first and then pushed again If you need more info, I'll be happy to provide it, but I guess the bug is easy to reproduce. ** Affects: gnome-desktop (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Pushing the Print Screen button to long should not render your system unusable for a long time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294127 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
