If it matters: I have 3 screens (the laptop's built-in, plus two external screens - one over HDMI, the other over a display port-to-VGA).
Hi @peter-kehl, are you running X11 or potentially running Wayland? The fact that the error is showing up in the x11 information gathering points to something there being amiss.
Due to architectural changes (limitations) in Wayland, getting a list of screens and their dimensions is currently not feasible.
Hi Timothy @arciisine,
I'm on X11:
I've temporarily switched to kernel 6.0.2-2 (still on X11), but getting the same errors from VS Code, npx @arcsine/win-info
and npx @arcsine/screen-recorder test.mp4
.
So, the error you are getting indicates xwininfo
is not installed, which, afaik has been default in X11 installations. Can you try running xwininfo
from the CLI to verify it is (or isn't) installed?
Thank you. Correct: xwininfo
was not installed. I've installed it now (it's a package on Manjaro/Arch), will reboot and test.
Confirming that it works (once I installed xwininfo
& rebooted). Suggest adding a note to README.md
that it needs xwininfo
to be installed and that it usually comes with X11 but it may be missing.
Thank you for Chronicler, Timothy.
Unfortunately, it fails on:
5.19 kernel 5.19.16-2-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
- I'll try with 6.0, too),npx
commands seem to be using Node 18.10.0)Side note: ctrl+alt+shift+r doesn't seem to trigger Chronicler for me. It opens some kind of screenshot app/plugin (and not VS Code-specific: it opens it regardless of VS Code). So far I haven't figured out what that is. So for now I trigger Chronicler with
Chronicler: Start Recording with Audio
.When I do start Chronicler, after the initial pause VS Code fails:

Please advise.
