Flameshot does not work properly on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

ai flag

I freshly installed Ubuntu as my main operating system. I was using Flameshot frequently in Windows but I am having issues on Ubuntu.

enter image description here

When I click on the launcher, now it is opening a small menu. And asking me what I want: Take screenshots, open launcher, etc. ( it was not asking before ) That is ok but the thing is that when I click take a screenshot, it is directly taking all screen. After that when I click options, it allows me to choose where to select. But again, I do not see here the flameshot features like this:

enter image description here

 user  archer  ~  flameshot --version
Flameshot v11.0.0 (11.0.0-2 Debian)

 user  archer  ~  lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Release:    22.04
Codename:   jammy

Also previously, when I take a screenshot, it was up to me to save somewhere the screenshot, I was usually using a clickboard and pasting somewhere. Now it is just saving it as file.

Are you running Wayland as your Window manager?

Look under Settings...About...

Windowing System

Look where it says Windowing System (mine says X11).

I noticed some odd behaviors when running Wayland and then when I switched to X11 those things cleared up.

Here's how you can change it if you want to : Use X11 instead of Wayland.

I couldn't run the Android Emulator (before changing).

I also saw an issue when running Remmina on Wayland.

``.`. $ sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf WaylandEnable=false `.`.`. After restart, this solved my issue. Thanks!! But I am not sure what it is exactly. Does it better than Wayland in other issues? Why ubuntu 22 comes with it?

I was in the same situation -- I wasn't exactly sure how using X11 would be different. The one thing I did know is that the older version of Ubuntu I was using had been running X11 and Wayland is newer so I figured it would probably be ok. I've been running 22.04.1 for a few weeks on X11 and all is working great now.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
