[SOLVED] Screenshot copy to clipboard not working

Post by kibasaur »

Hello everyone!

I just installed Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3 on my new laptop. I briefly had it on my old laptop and had some issues with this but managed to make it work.

My problem is simple, when I copy a screenshot to the clipboard I can't paste it so I'm assuming that it's not being copied for some reason. When I installed the distro I didn't have a clipboard manager installed for some reason so I installed Clipit and figured that might've been the problem but I'm still not able to capture to clipboard.

Any suggestions ?

when I copy a screenshot to the clipboard
How do you do that? Maybe you just hit Print Scrn and then hit the Copy to Clipboard button??

Hmm I think I was just under the impression that I could paste an image into a folder and a file would be created. It is pasteable in chats and in editors so I guess there never was a problem. I'm gonna change it to solved.
