I want to install Shutter, because I took a screenshot with the PrintScreen button, but when I try to install Shutter from the software center or from the terminal using the shutter ppa, it says that I need to install libxml-simple-perl. When I try to install that, it throws me another dependency, then again, then again. Why I can't install Shutter? Even Synaptic won't install it. Is there any fix for it? Are there any alternatives for Shutter?

Try this:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shutter/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install shutter
Try adding the -y option to the install command. This tells apt-get to automatically install everything it needs. Assuming the dependencies are available of course.
sudo apt-get -y install shutter
I don't know how to install Shutter, BUT you can install other screenshot taking applications, like this one which called Cleopix.
To install Cleopix (it is paid)
You can simply click this button
Also take look at this link
And ther is other way without using PrtScreen button. Type in terminal
gnome-screenshot
. You can also make launcher for that, and take screenshot via launching it. For that just copy this and paste into file called screenshot.desktop
[Desktop Entry] Name=Screenshot Comment=Save images of your screen or individual windows Exec=gnome-screenshot --interactive Terminal=false Type=Application Icon=applets-screenshooter StartupNotify=true Categories=GTK;GNOME;Utility; NotShowIn=KDE; X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Bugzilla=GNOME X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Product=gnome-utils X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=screenshot Actions=Screen;Window;Area X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-screenshot [Desktop Action Screen] Name=Take a Screenshot of the Whole Screen Exec=gnome-screenshot OnlyShowIn=Unity; [Desktop Action Window] Name=Take a Screenshot of the Current Window Exec=gnome-screenshot -w OnlyShowIn=Unity; [Desktop Action Area] Name=Take a Screenshot of a Selected Area Exec=gnome-screenshot -a OnlyShowIn=Unity;
And after that make that file executable, using
chmod +x screenshot.desktop
.
And it is ready for use! Just add it to your unity launcher and that's all:

I would recommend against buying Cleopix. It's far inferior to Stutter in all regards and will cost you $3. Jan 8, 2013 at 13:10
