Not working using Gnome and Wayland.
Closed this issue · 4 comments
How to reproduce
Run a Linux Gnome desktop using Wayland instead of X
Expected behavior
Screenshots work
Actual behavior
Just get a black screeen
- Operating system:
Antergos Gnome using Wayland
- --shots version:
V1.2.0
FWIW I think this is a Wayland problem rather than a --shots issue, but logging it here just in case others are wondering....
Should probably add I've changed from LightDM to GnomeDM on Antergos. Pretty sure LightDM is still using X, but changing to GDM uses Wayland.
@CHBMB thank you for your investigation!
I've tried a fresh reinstall of my OS using LightDM and that works so even more sure now the issue is Wayland.
@binjospookie So with the move towards Wayland as the desktop protocol on Linux, will --shots work in the future? Or has this been closed as you don't intend to support Wayland?
@binjospookie same question as @CHBMB. Tried shots on Fedora 27 which uses Wayland but it's not working. Only showing a black screen when taking a screenshots. Are you going to support Wayland which soon is becoming the replacement for Xorg?
