Wayland compatibility #133

This issue tracks issue with the Wayland session. Currently (using Fedora 26) I can't login into the Wayland session when EasyScreenCast is in the extension folder.

It might be related to one of these error messages from the journal:

gnome-shell[1679]: JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/endSessionDialog.js 767]: 
reference to undefined property dialogContent.checkBoxText
gnome-shell[1679]: JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/modalDialog.js 311]: 
reference to undefined property global.gdk_screen

Maybe similar issues:

Update: In the meantime I was able to debug the problem so far that I know it is related to the initializing of imports.gi.Gst. I was then also able to find this discussion which has a lot of information about the bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776041

And: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1394755

Hi Tobias

I'm running GNOME 3.26.1 under Ubuntu 17.10. The current release version of ESC works under X11 but prevents GNOME Shell Wayland from loading - it freezes before the desktop is shown.

I've just tried the latest ESC git code and its a little better in that I can at least login to GNOME/Wayland and the desktop loads but everything freezes as soon as I click on the ESC icon and I don't get to see the ESC menu.

Thanks for following up on this issue. Could you see anything suspicious in the logs? I will try to to set up a Ubuntu VM too to look for any issues.

Same here

I tried this on Fedora 31 (wayland session) and it worked very well. Thanks, a good screen recorder is essential if we want to swap to wayland.
