Flameshot does not work properly on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

Question

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.

Answer 1

Are you running Wayland as your Window manager?

Look under Settings...About...

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.
