I am trying to enable the Edit button in Shutter. I installed the application from Ubuntu Software and are using Ubuntu 18.04.

After taking a screenshot the Edit button is disabled. And when hovering the mouse pointer over the button the text "Goo::Canvas/libgoo-canvas-perl needs to be installed for this feature" is shown.

I have tried to install the package libgoocanvas2-perl and restarted the computer, but the edit button is still not enabled:

sudo apt install libgoocanvas2-perl

That is the only package I can find.

Anyone that knows how to fix this?

I found a solution here: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2018/04/fix-edit-option-disabled-shutter-ubuntu-18-04/.
I can confirm that it works for Budgie 18.04.

1. 
   

   Download and install the libgoocanvas-common and libgoocanvas3 packages.

   
   
   

   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 dpkg -i ~/Downloads/libgoocanvas-common_1.0.0-1_all.deb
   sudo apt-get -f install
   

   
   


2. 
   

   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!

Thanks to the answer of budgie. That solution worked fine for me as well.

Just to clarify in this thread, this is what I did:

1. Downloaded these three packages in Chrome:
   libgoocanvas-common_1.0.0-1_all.deb
   libgoocanvas3_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
   libgoo-canvas-perl_0.06-2ubuntu3_amd64.deb




2. Clicked on the downloaded files in Chrome (or File Browser) and installed the package with Ubuntu Software.




3. Restarted the computer and then the Edit button was enabled.
