How to take screenshot?

ygrex

Hi,

Pressing Up+Down volume buttons gives a screen flash, but nothing appears under Screenshots/ directory

not sure if it is relevant to the issue, but it also logs this lines:

Jun 26 13:36:03 ubuntu-phablet lomiri[2703]: [2025-06-26:13:36:03.404] qml: ItemGrabber: No fileName to save image to

tried fbcat, but it gives me distorted picture

and failed to get anything useful from raw /dev/fb0

ygrex

finally got it resolved, deleted ~/Pictures (it was a symlink to other place on sdcard) and rebooted

@ygrex On my Vollaphone X running 20.04 OTA 9 it works as expected. Pressing volume up and down together gives a camera shutter noise and the screenshot appears in Gallery.

Did you try the other way?
Long press the power button and click on "screenshot".

Not sure it will change anything, but it's worth a try.

@ygrex Did you by any chance do something with sharing UT folders with Waydroid?
