My 'Prt Sc / Sys Rq' key is apparently disabled whenever I have the Wifi Network Authentication Required window's Authentication drop-up menu open, but it appears to work otherwise. Is this a bug or a 'security feature'? It looks to me to be a bug. What causes this problem and how do we fix it?
(sony vaio computer with Japanese keyboard)
Although not resolving the key functionality problem, one workaround is to execute the following command in the Terminal to take a screenshot after 10 seconds:
gnome-screenshot -d 10
(or search 'screenshot' in the Launcher (top left button) to open the graphical user interface to accomplish the same task).
If you don't mind using the terminal then scrot -cd10 should get the job done.
scrot can be installed via the command sudo apt-get install scrot
You can launch the Screenshot app from Ubuntu Dash:
Type screenshot in the dash and you will see an icon with a camera. You can drag the icon to the launcher for easy access.
When you click on the camera icon, the screenshot app will launch:
Then you can take the screenshot of the whole screen, the active window or just a part of the screen. Once you click the Take Screenshot button at the bottom, you will get the option to save the screenshot or copy it to the clipboard.
By the way, bugs are off-topic in this site. If you found a bug, you may want to file a bug report.
Hope this helps
