    11.10 disable sound when taking screenshot?

    I just noticed that the computer plays this awful camera-shutter sound whenever I take a screenshot.

    Does anyone know how to disable that? It's driving me nuts.

    Help would be much appreciated.

    take a screenshot with what application? I use scrot, and it makes no noise. gimp will take a screenshot. I think ubuntu will even copy a screenshot using your 'print screen' button these days. How are you doing it?

    You can mute the alert volume in the Sound settings panel, or you can disable event-sounds at org.gnome.desktop.interface.sound in dconf-editor.

    Another very good, with lots of options is shutter - http://shutter-project.org/

    sudo apt-get install shutter

    I got the same "issue" and I am using the default PrtSc button (in the Gnome3 shell).

    Muting system alert volume also mutes login sound and incoming Skype calls. A bit on the overkill side for me.

    About disabling event-sounds, that did the work for me (it seems). At least I ca hear incoming Skype calls

    ... However, this also disabled my login sound. So where is the shutter sound located? I would very much like to delete it altogether.
