Desktop installation

Install LinScreen on Debian or Ubuntu

The Debian package installs LinScreen and its Linux desktop integration files. Use it when LinScreen should appear in the GNOME or KDE application launcher.

Current package: linscreen_14.0.1_amd64.deb. Verified .

Download the Debian package

Download the .deb from the official LinScreen 14.0.1 release. The package targets amd64 systems.

Install with APT

sudo apt install ./linscreen_14.0.1_amd64.deb

Using APT with the local path allows dependencies to be resolved through configured Debian or Ubuntu repositories.

Verify binary and desktop entry

linscreen --version
gtk-launch org.linscreen.LinScreen
grep -E '^(Exec|Icon|Name)=' /usr/share/applications/org.linscreen.LinScreen.desktop

The package installs a desktop entry, scalable icon and DBus service. The expected executable is /usr/bin/linscreen.

If the launcher is missing

sudo update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -q -t -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor

Log out and back in once if the desktop still uses an older application cache.

Wayland portal packages

The package does not replace the desktop portal. Follow instructions for GNOME or KDE Plasma, and use the troubleshooting guide for capture failures. For a portable test, use the AppImage.
