Documentation for JIRA 5.1.x. Documentation for other versions of JIRA is available too.
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.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.
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.
