Cannot create window in gnu screen

I tried ctrl+a, c and ctrl+a, ctrl+c.
But it doesn't work, it does nothing.
System: Ubuntu 22.04.

You're going to have to be more specific. What is a "gnu screen"? Gnu Emacs? Gnu Mailman? Gnu Hurd?

-- sw

This should be the package to the program that's being discussed. Is this package installed? Have you instantiated a screen session from the shell? It doesn't start automatically. If you haven't installed the package or started screen, those commands won't work. If you have started a screen session, you'll want to check /etc/screenrc or, if you have it, ~/.screenrc to see if any settings for key bindings have been altered. Here is the entire manual for Screen, which should tell you what to look for and how to modify key binds, if they've been modified, as well as how to start a screen session and how to use Screen.

Good luck.
