Hi folks. I have KSnapshot on my installed Kubuntu 14.04 and really like it. Yesterday I made a usb stick of Mint 17.3 Cimmaron and booted "live". I didn't care for its default app for "print screen" function. I downloaded KSnapshot from both Software Manager and from the LinuxMint web page. Each time I launched KSnapshot, it would function just fine until I would perform Save As, which at that point it would just go away / crash. Tried several times. I googled for a solution and found the following:

"The only problem is it crashes anytime I want to save a screenshot. And because Linux Mint Cinnamon does not have a bug reporting tool installed, the only way to find out why it’s crashing is to start it from the command line.

From that, it looks like the system is missing key KDE libraries and plugins. The solution? Install them using
sudo apt–get install –y kdelibs–bin kdelibs5–data kdelibs5–plugins."

I entered the command in Terminal 2-3 times and each time I got a "command not found". I found multiple bug reports but with my limited skill level, they did me no good. Even if I can't get it to do a screen shot from my print screen key, I'd be ok with launching the app and performing the task.

Thank you

sudo (probably) not available in *buntu derivatives, use kdesu instead

Thank you. I'll try that.

Same results; Command not found.

Thank you

arghhhh don't use Mint

try kdesudo (package=kdesudo)

maybe package containing kdesu not installed ( package=kcd-cli-tools)

Now that's funny. Ok, I'll give kdesudo a spin when I boot to Mint a bit later. Thanks.

I'm certainly in no position to doubt you; Is ( package=kcd-cli-tools) or ( package=kde-cli-tools)? The reason I ask is when I google package=kcd-cli-tools I find a KCD web page but most other hits show package=kde-cli-tools. Thanks.

obviously a typo

How did you post as me? No biggie but interesting.

not exactly sure but but as a forum "manager" ...... of course I've never done that before and apologize

more important did you get the update to work>

Gonna try shortly. You have the power.

Perhaps closer. I entered [package=kde-cli-tools] hit return and it gave me another prompt.

Hello,

If you were talking about this post, you need to install the following three packages :

• kdelibs–bin
• kdelibs5–data
• kdelibs5–plugins

Installing packages should be similar to installing applications, no matter whether you use apt-get or any other package manager (including whatever Mint ships).

On Mint's website (scroll to the end), they say the command you should use is:

Code: Select all

apt install kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins


Maybe you'll need to run it as root. If the above doesn't work, try

Code: Select all

sudo apt install kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins


or

Code: Select all

su -
apt install kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins
exit

Can I download this 64-bit deb package? If so, open it or save? Save it to .....? http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/ku ... -cli-tools

Ok. I'll try this. Thanks.

1st attempt:

Code: Select all

mint@mint ~ $ sudo apt install kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
mint@mint ~ $

2nd attempt:

Code: Select all

mint@mint ~ $ apt install kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)

3rd attempt:

Code: Select all

mint@mint ~ $ su -

I copied / pasted [su -
apt install kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins] and it resulted what you see under 3rd attempt. I don't have a password in Live Mint.
