Re: Gnome Screenshot not saving to clipboard



No, I do have Wayland installed but I'm running Xorg:

$ ps ax | grep xorg
  39677 tty7     Sl+    3:13 /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg vt7 -displayfd 3 -auth /run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority -background none -noreset -keeptty -verbose 3


No Wayland running:

$ ps ax | grep -i wayland
  48911 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep -i wayland

But when I try to remove the xwayland package:

# apt purge xwayland
Reading package lists... Done

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  alacarte gir1.2-gmenu-3.0 gnome-applets gnome-applets-data gnome-panel gnome-panel-data gnome-session-common libcpupower2
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
After this operation, 11.4 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

Are you running GNOME on Wayland, by any chance? If so, try on Xorg
instead.
