  1. To use it on keyboard shortcut just add an shortcut calling “flameshot gui” and the prntscr button (working on ubuntu 16.04)

  2. All the above steps followed by me and finally there is no result.

    1. There is a ppa now. Isn’t it working? I will update the post after checking them.

  3. On 16.04 qmake will fail
    //Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: svg

    requires libqt5svg5-dev
    $ sudo apt install libqt5svg5-dev

  4. You have to install libqt5svg5-dev

    Anyway the tip works for me

Let's discuss now…
