Ok, welcome to the Linux world.

So it seems you have wrong understanding of Linux. So let me explain it to you:

You can install a software on Linux in various ways:

Your package manager (in case of Ubuntu is apt)
Flatpak
Snap
AppImage

Remember that you can use all of them at the same time and have 4 or even more versions of Flameshot side-by-side! This is messy and this is what you have done.

apt

You install with

sudo apt install flameshot

And you run using

flameshot

flameshot gui

Flatpak

Install:

flatpak install flathub org.flameshot.Flameshot

Run:

flatpak run org.flameshot.Flameshot

flatpak run org.flameshot.Flameshot gui

Snap

Install:

snap install flameshot

Run:

flameshot

flameshot gui

AppImage

Installation is just downloading the file. That simple.

I will be happy to explain to you basics of Linux, but this is not a bug or issue with Flameshot. So I'm going to close this issue.

No, this does not resolve the issue. You shouldn't close an issue that is still an issue.

I cannot run your flatpack instructions. "flathub" is not found as a remote reference. snap gives me a "snap" command not found install flameshot just installs the old version. If I run the appimage to install, I still cannot get a keyboard shortcut to run it, even with the files in place.

***@***.***:~$ flameshot --version  (this is WITH the appimage
installed)
Command 'flameshot' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install flameshot

Does this look resolved to you???

Does this look resolved to you???

Yes, because you didn't read my comment and you didn't read the link I gave you.

Again, this is you not understanding how Linux works and I'll be happy to help, but you should start reading as well.

When you download the AppImage, you should run the AppImage file not flameshot. Again, read the link.

About Flatpak, google the error and you will see how to add the flathub:

https://superuser.com/questions/1789203/how-to-solve-error-no-remote-refs-found-similar-to-flathub

The .ini file is just a config file, it is not flameshot. It is a normal text file and you can see its content by:

less ~/.config/flameshot/flameshot.ini

Also, never ever ever use sudo on flameshot or the softwares you don't trust. Flameshot does not need sudo to work.

So, the initial link to install the flameshot still did not work. it did not recognize the steps I was trying to make. So, reading the comment I did, following the instructions on the linked page, I did. Did it work? No.

The link you sent about Flatpak not recognizing flathub. Done. Flameshot installed? Done. Restarted pc. Create a keyboard command to make it run? Nope. Run flameshot gui in terminal? Nope. Doesn't recognize it's there

Regardless, It wasn't just a matter of not understanding how linux works, it was the lack of knowledge on what to search for to make it work. Which you didn't provide in the first response.

...@pop-os:~$ flameshot --version Command 'flameshot' not found, but can be installed with: sudo apt install flameshot (which installs the old version) ...@pop-os:~$

All I want is a keyboard command that will work. It doesn't recognize the command "flameshot gui".

So I followed the instructions to try and figure things out. https://i.imgur.com/rnRQ8MH.png

Still can't find the command to run Flameshot so I can create a keyboard shortcut.
