Press "Prt_Scr"

MATE general version

Operating System: Linux Mint 20.3 Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-109-generic Architecture: x86-64

Package version

Mint mate 20.04

Link to bugreport of your Distribution (requirement)

What does that mean?

I don't have the "Document" etc., default directories so it may be looking for one of those.

BUT, I used dconf-editor (org/mate/screenshot) and it shows the Default as '' that is, 2-apostorphies, as in, nothing, empty.

I disabled "Use default path" and assigned "Downloads" saved, rebooted and still get the error even WITH the path shown as "Downloads."

That sound like the mate-screenshot binary not being found. Can you execute mate-screenshot from terminal?

@lukefromdc: Thanks, that was it. It showed "mate-utils not installed"

I did an update then, sudo apt install mate-utils

Fixed: thanks again. No idea why they were not installed originally.
