This is a great application to take screenshots.

the editing feature is clean and works well.
Screenshopts are autocopied to the clipboard.
It can be run from the command line and therefore scripted and turned into shortcuts
- We use Meta + a to screenshot an areal

It used to worok well from the normal package manager but now will no longer work.

You need to use the version from the PPA

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:linuxuprising/shutter

1. No need to use apt update anymore because starting Ubuntu 18.04, the repositories are automatically updated after adding a new entry.
Now use the apt command to install Shutter:

sudo apt install shutter

That’s it. You should have Shutter screenshot tool installed. You can search for it in the menu and start from there.

I’ll complete this tutorial by adding the steps to uninstall Shutter and remove the repository you added.

First, remove Shutter from your system:

sudo apt remove shutter

Next, remove the PPA from your list of repositories:

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:linuxuprising/shutter
