How I fixed Flameshot on Ubuntu 26.04 always taking screenshots of the first screen

After upgrading to Ubuntu 26.04, Flameshot only ever took screenshots of the first screen.

This is easy to fix - you only need to update Flameshot to >=14.0, which is easiest using this PPA linked to on the Flameshot GitHub page:

update-flameshot.sh
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:quentiumyt/flameshot
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install flameshot

After that, stop Flameshot and start it again so the new version is used (killall flameshot if you dont want to do it using mouseclicks.)
