Hey @mikkas70 👋

Ubuntu 22.04 defaults to Wayland instead of X11.

Unfortunately, libnut does not (yet) support Wayland, so to continue using it you'd have to switch back to Xorg:

@mikkas70 Were you able to resolve the issue?

@s1hofmann I was able to change to X11 and screen captures are working again, thank you.
