The command gnome-screenshot -c is not copying the captured screenshot to my clipboard in Ubuntu 17.10.

How do I fix this?

The answers in this question do not work for my Ubuntu 17.10

Ok, problem solved. The problem was with the default wayland used in Ubuntu 17.10 which somehow affected other commands like gksudo and gksu too. When I logged into Ubuntu with xorg, everything worked perfectly!

If the command isn't working on v17.10 then you can try using shutter.

The steps to install shutter on your system are given below:

  • Add the official repository - sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:shutter/ppa
  • Refresh system cache using the command - sudo apt-get update
  • Begin the installation using - sudo apt-get install shutter

Once you have shutter installed on your system, you can refer to this link for more information - using shutter to copy image to clipboard

Apart from shutter, Ubuntu allows you to use default shortcuts too that help you in taking screenshots. The above link lists down those shortcuts as well.
