Use mtpaint to grab a screenshot

And make it an application you can add to lubuntu panel.
Create the following file /usr/share/applications/mtpaint-grab.desktop containing :

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Grab screenshot
Exec=mtpaint -s
Icon=camera
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Categories=Application;Graphics;

You can now add it to the Application Launch Bar in the Panel.

A long hiatus, nothing considering geological times :)

The so called summer season has started here. First day of vacation. I fresh installed Ubuntu 14.10 still in development, running great, and am testing out LXDE-Qt on top of lubuntu 14.04 which was not that of a good idea. Will probably have to fresh install over again and go for a pure LXQt environment. This laptop’s battery died last year, so it became a laptop on a leash for tests.

The Ubuntu Forums are keeping me busy, I’ve always liked forums, these ones in particular. Not sure why, I like the place, the Staff team, the way people can get helped, the way I can help and learn in the process. It is a great learning resource to me. One command I got reminded of a few days ago : apt-cache madison which shows packages versions available from the repositories, even if not in the sources.list. Complementary to apt-cache policy :)
