Cinnamon 5.2.7截图工具相关问题求助

Hey there, let's work through this screenshot problem you're facing in Cinnamon!

It sounds like the core issue is that Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy comes with a newer version of GNOME's screenshot tool by default, but the Cinnamon applet you're using relies on the older gnome-screenshots package—this mismatch is why things work fine in GNOME but break in Cinnamon. Here are a few practical fixes you can try:

1. Install the older gnome-screenshots package #

First, try installing the required package directly from Ubuntu's repositories. Open a terminal and run these commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install gnome-screenshots

If the package isn't available in the default repositories (which can happen with newer Ubuntu versions), you can look for a compatible older .deb package of gnome-screenshots that works with Cinnamon 5.2.7 and install it manually.

2. Switch to Cinnamon's native screenshot tool #

Cinnamon actually has its own built-in screenshot utility that's fully optimized for the desktop environment. You can:

• Press the PrintScreen key directly to launch it (if the shortcut isn't overridden)
• Find it in the Cinnamon menu under "Screenshot Tool"
• Launch it via terminal with this command:

  cinnamon-screenshot
  

To make this your go-to tool, head to Cinnamon's Keyboard Settings > Shortcuts, find the screenshot-related shortcuts, and update them to point to /usr/bin/cinnamon-screenshot. This way you won't need the old GNOME package at all.

3. Tweak the Cinnamon applet's settings #

If you really want to keep using the problematic applet, check if it has configuration options. Look for a setting that lets you specify the path to the screenshot tool, then set it to cinnamon-screenshot instead of expecting the old gnome-screenshots to be present.

Hope one of these solutions gets your screenshots working smoothly in Cinnamon!
