Attaching a Screenshot in JIRA, a user must go to More Actions and select the the Attach Screenshot link. However, on linux machine, this feature is not available.

 

1. Enable the screenshot applet

To enable the "Attach Screenshot" feature on your JIRA instance, add the following line on the jira-config.properties file, which is located on the <JIRA-HOME> directory.

jira-config.properties
jira.screenshotapplet.linux.enabled=true

In a new JIRA installations, jira-config.properties file may not initially exist and if so, you will need to create it manually. Create the jira-config.properties file inside <JIRA-HOME> folder.

2. Restart JIRA instance

Once you have modified the jira-config.properties file, restart your JIRA instance for the changes to take effect.

 

Please note that this feature may not work on all Linux Distribution.
