Has duplicate Tails - Bug #8487: GNOME screenshot does not save files anywhere Duplicate 2014-12-25

History

#1 Updated by matsa 2014-10-13 04:12:14

  • Status changed from New to In Progress

This can be fixed with something like

gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-screenshot auto-save-directory ‘file:///home/amnesia/Desktop’

#2 Updated by intrigeri 2014-10-13 04:14:58

  • Status changed from In Progress to Confirmed
  • Priority changed from Normal to Elevated

Raising priority, as this seems to be a regression caused by the migration to Wheezy.

#3 Updated by subkeys 2014-10-19 00:32:24

executing the command provided by matsa above corrected the issue in the latest version of Tails.

#4 Updated by intrigeri 2014-10-19 08:52:35

Anyone who wants to fix that: start by adding the aforementionned key/value to config/chroot_local-includes/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00_Tails_defaults, build an ISO, test.

  • Subject changed from PrintScreen hotkey is not working anymore to GNOME screenshot does not save files

Renaming this as the title seems to be misleading. The button works. Simply the files are not saved.
