Hello.
I'm searching some help, because I'm really stuck. I'm facing a weird - I mean a very weird one - problem since I reinstalled from scratch a few days ago my computer.
Ok. I'm using archlinux + gnome 3 with testing repo enabled and fully up-to-date. And a fully systemd one if it is important.
1) Video : nouveau driver 2) Installed gnome 3 fully : gnome + gnome extra + gnome-utils 3) All bindings are correctly set in gnome system preferences.
When I press PrintScreen, nothing happens. Nothing. Gnome-screenshot from command line start and also when I search it.
I tried :
1) new key for screen capture : nothing 2) binding PrintScreen to launch another program : nothing 3) another keyboard : nothing
I didn't tweak anything just installed gnome, gnome extra and gnome utils on setup time.
If you have an idea, I'm glad to hear it.
That very same problem happened to me. The thing is that newer gnome-screenshot versions don't get the window by default when pressing

PrintScreen key. Instead it saves the image into disk directly. Take a look into your "PICTURES" directory. execute
$ xdg-user-dir PICTURES
to discover what the directory is.
Note that if for some reason that directory does not exist the capture will fail. If so do:
$ xdg-user-dir-udate.
HTH
Rodrigo.
Sorry, it won't help at all. Nothing - and I mean nothing - is started right after I push PrintScreen key. No flash, no sound. GnomeScreenshot is working from command line.
And I ran xdg-user-dirs-update after starting my first gnome session.
It is like the key is dead. But it is not a keyboard problem, same thing happens with another keyboard.
Thanks anyway.
Did you check the .xsession-errors file for any hint? Run: $ tail -f ~/.xsession-errors And then press the PrintScreen key to see if anything is logged. -- Rodrigo
