I found a solution. In this file sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf uncomment this line WaylandEnable=false save and exit. Then run this command in the terminal sudo systemctl restart gdm3 Happy Ubuntu :)

    IMPORTANT Please note that the PPA has changed. See launchpad.net/~shutter/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Thank you - this worked for me on a greenfield install of Ubuntu 21.04.

  • I can confirm this also works in Ubuntu 21.10.

  • Worked for me on Ubuntu 21.10. Don't be like me not closing your apps. Or the restart command will do it for you :)

Here's my work-around: Ubuntu 22.04: How to rapidly take a screenshot, save it as a JPG, and edit it using the Shutter program to add highlighting: use the new Ubuntu 22.04 screenshot tool, but edit it in Shutter.
