After installed my favorite screenshot tool Shutter in Ubuntu 18.04, I found that the Edit button is greyed out<\/b>. And this quick tip is going to show you how to re-enable the editing feature in Shutter.<\/p>\n

To re-enable the “Edit” option, Shutter requires libgoo-canvas-perl<\/code> library which is not available in Ubuntu 18.04 main archive. As a workaround, you can grab the package, as well as dependencies, from Ubuntu 17.10’s repository.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here are the links to the packages you need to install (64-bit only since Ubuntu 18.04 dropped 32-bit support<\/strong>):<\/p>\n

1.<\/b> Download and double-click to install the libgoocanvas-common<\/code> package:<\/p>\n

\n
Download libgoocanvas-common<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

2.<\/b> Download and install libgoocanvas3<\/code> package:<\/p>\n

\n
Download libgoocanvas3<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Either use Gdebi<\/b> package installer (available in Ubuntu Software) or run command in terminal (press Ctrl+Alt+T) to install the package:<\/i><\/p>\n

sudo dpkg -i ~\/Downloads\/libgoocanvas3_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb; sudo apt-get -f install<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
3.<\/b> Finally download & install libgoo-canvas-perl<\/code> package:<\/p>\n
\n
Download libgoo-canvas-perl<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Also install the package via Gdebi<\/b> or terminal command, since Ubuntu Software doesn’t solve dependencies automatically:<\/p>\n
sudo dpkg -i ~\/Downloads\/libgoo-canvas-perl_0.06-2ubuntu3_amd64.deb; sudo apt-get -f install<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
To apply changes, kill Shutter process or restart your computer!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
