Downloads

Shutter is available for any major GNU/Linux distribution and can be installed using your package manager. If you want to upgrade to the latest release, you can find installation instructions in our download section.

Ubuntu PPA repository (recommended):

We are using Launchpad to distribute the different versions of Shutter. If you’re on Ubuntu (versions 8.04 to 10.10 are supported), it’s preferred that you install this way because installing is easier, and you’ll be automatically notified of available updates.

A detailed guide on installing from the PPA is available here, though you can also install using these directions:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shutter/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install shutter

Ubuntu packages:

If you don’t want to add the repository but install from packages, here they are:

Ubuntu 10.10 “Maverick Meerkat”: Shutter

Ubuntu 10.04 “Lucid Lynx”: libnet-dbus-glib-perl (32bit, 64bit) and Shutter

Ubuntu 9.10 “Karmic Koala”: Shutter

Ubuntu 8.04 “Hardy Heron”: gtkimageview (32bit, 64bit, or netbook), libgtk2-imageview-perl (32bit, 64bit, or netbook), libgoo-canvas-perl (32bit, 64bit, or netbook) and Shutter

No longer supported:

Ubuntu 9.04 “Jaunty Jackalope”: libgoo-canvas-perl (32bit, 64bit, or netbook) and Shutter

Ubuntu 8.10 “Intrepid Ibex”: libgoo-canvas-perl (32bit, 64bit, or netbook) and Shutter

    I’ve created a new user and I am still getting this error message. But maybe it is just my system (11.2 running in a VirtualBox)…

    I’ll add the link now. Maybe we should just wait for some user’s feedback.

    test on my openSUSE 11.2 KDE 4.3.5 and 11.3 rc2 LXDE
    run shutter in terminal
    there’s no such message as you state
    some xhost problems are caused by a root user GUI
    Try use a nomal user account
    See if this error can be fixed

    That works great. Thank you.

    There is another little prblem (only tested with 11.2). When capturing a window (or section, menu, tooltip) the following error occurs on my system:

    *** unhandled exception in callback:
    *** Connection to server failed — (version 11.0)
    *** No protocol specified
    *** at /usr/share/shutter/resources/modules/Shutter/Screenshot/Window.pm line 59
    *** ignoring at /usr/bin/shutter line 2258.

    The solution is to execute the following command via terminal:
    xhost +
    (access control disabled, clients can connect from any host)

    Do you think you can find a solution for this as well? It is the first time I see this error when using Shutter.

    It says ‘perl-Net-DBus’ is missing. Do I need to enable any other repo? Is it possible for you to create a build for that perl module as well?
