I have been taking screen shots on ubuntu via the PrintScreen key
which still is working.However if I click the network icon in top
right hand corner and want to take screen shot of this (with network
icon such as available wireless networks in drop down menu) then the
print screen key does not work .Same is the case with volume or
battery or bluetooth icon in panel.If I click on volume icon and there
appears a vertical bar to increase or decrease there I pause for a
moment I can not take screen shot at that moment.How ever if I again
click the volume icon in tray and the vertical bar disappears then I
can take the screen shots.So in this situation if I want to take
screen shots of the icons then what can I do?
As an example my print screen key will not take a screen shot of following kind
http://www.dedoimedo.com/images/computers/ubuntu-8.10-tp-wireless-1.jpg

Where as I can take a snapshot of this
kindhttp://www.dedoimedo.com/images/computers/ubuntu-8.10-shutdown-2.jpg

Note in the first link the person was able to take the screen shot of
wireless drop down menu which I can not take with my print screen key.

ogra@horus:~$ gnome-screenshot --help
Usage:
gnome-screenshot [OPTION...] Take a picture of the screen
...
-d, --delay=seconds Take screenshot after specified delay [in
seconds]
...

just use gnome-screenshot (which is what your PrintScr key invokes)
from a terminal or teh alt+f2 key combo and define a delay ...

ciao

I have been taking screen shots on ubuntu via the PrintScreen key...

Go to a package manager and give in "KSnapshot": a KDE package aimed at capturing images of the screen.* It can capture the whole screen,

a specified region, an individual window, or only part of a window. It's also possible to build in a delay of one or a few seconds. It works like a charm - in all situations. So, consider installing it. As far as I know, KDE packages from the repository also function inside Gnome, Unity, Xfe and other window managers. After installing it, you can invoke it via the Print Screen Button.


Respectfully yours,
Bas.

In GNOME on 10.10 there is "Applications->Accessories->Take Screenshot"
which can take a shot of the whole desktop, a particular window, or an
arbitrary rectangle that you mark with the mouse, all with a
configurable delay to give you time to set things up, select the desired
area etc. About the only thing it doesn't seem able to do is take a shot
of itself; I just tried (but not very hard :-)

Regards, K.
