Re: [GTALUG] ftp helper app, and how to screenshot on Ubuntu 21.04?

[Stewart C. Russell via talk]

also it seems this upgrade has borked xclip, which is a can't-live-without

Did anyone think Wayland was a good idea? A desktop without a working
clipboard?? And by working, I mean "the way it always did before"

Thanks, Alex - I should've said: no KDE. I don't, I can't, I won't.

And how about that application name, eh? Probbo or what?

Stewart,

   I always use GIMP for screen and window captures.  It never occurred to me 
there was another way.

Hi Stewart,

Not that I actively use ftp, but all of the Norton Commander-like file 
managers that I use still have FTP support.


Krusader for example,




Also a more classic and very much TUI implementation of the same 
interface -- Midnight commander, has FTP support



Alex.

My keyboard doesn't have a PrtSc key so I can't use any of the 
built-in screenshot tools. Is this a Wayland thing? I thought Wayland 
was supposed to be compatible with X?


cheers,

[GTALUG] ftp helper app, and how to screenshot on Ubuntu 21.04?
