[Quick Fix] The “Edit” Option Disabled in Shutter in Ubuntu 18.04
After installed my favorite screenshot tool Shutter in Ubuntu 18.04, I found that the Edit button is greyed out. And this quick tip is going to show you how to re-enable the editing feature in Shutter.
To re-enable the “Edit” option, Shutter requires libgoo-canvas-perl 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.
And here are the links to the packages you need to install (64-bit only since Ubuntu 18.04 dropped 32-bit):
- Download and double-click to install the libgoocanvas-common package:
- Download and install libgoocanvas3 package:
Either use Gdebi package installer (available in Ubuntu Software) or run command in terminal (press Ctrl+Alt+T) to install the package:
sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/libgoocanvas3_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb; sudo apt-get -f install
3. Finally download & install libgoo-canvas-perl package:
Also install the package via Gdebi or terminal command, since Ubuntu Software doesn’t solve dependencies automatically:
sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/libgoo-canvas-perl_0.06-2ubuntu3_amd64.deb; sudo apt-get -f install
To apply changes, kill Shutter process or restart your computer!
