Flameshot not working properly in GNOME 45 #3403

Closed archie-was-taken closed 11 months ago

archie-was-taken commented 11 months ago

Flameshot Version

Flameshot v12.1.0 (Debian 12.1.0-2) Compiled with Qt 5.15.8 linux: 6.5.0-10-generic ubuntu: 23.10

Installation Type

Linux, MacOS, or Windows Package manager (apt, pacman, eopkg, choco, brew, ...)

Operating System type and version

Ubuntu 23.10

Description

After updating Ubuntu 23.04 to 23.10 which ships with GNOME 45, Flameshot has started behaving erratically. I've got Super + F as the shortcut for flameshot gui, but when I press the keys, Flameshot sends a notification telling that it's unable to capture the screen. When I click on the 'Take Screenshot' option in the drop-down menu of the tray icon, the same thing happens.

However, if I open a Terminal window and type flameshot gui the screenshot is taken. I don't quite understand why it's happening, but I'm pretty sure it's started happening since I updated to Ubuntu 23.10.

Steps to reproduce

Ensure you're on GNOME 45, preferably on Ubuntu 23.10 (1) Click on the Super key (2) Type 'Flameshot' (3) Select the Flameshot app (Wait for the tray icon to appear) (4) Click on the tray icon (A drop-down menu appears) (5) Click on the 'Take Screenshot' option (Wait for a couple of seconds) You'll see a notification from Flameshot titled 'Unable to capture screen'

I have exactly the same problem.

OS: Ubuntu 23.10 Desktop: Gnome 45 Wayland Flameshot version: v12.1.0

Additional details: On Ubuntu 23.04, which used Wayland and an unspecified version of GNOME, Flameshot failed to operate properly when installed via the apt command. Interestingly, the AppImage version of Flameshot did function correctly, despite being the same version as the apt install.

Following an upgrade to Ubuntu 23.10, featuring Wayland and GNOME 45, both installation methods ceased to work.

Currently, a temporary solution is to launch Flameshot directly from the terminal, which remains effective.

Same problem after upgrading Ubuntu Desktop from 23.04 to 23.10: no more working flameshot anymore.

Same problem for me after upgrading from Fedora 38 to Fedora 39, which uses Gnome 45.

This seems to be duplicate of #3383 and the solution to this round of Gnome's behavior is here:

@mmahmoudian I'm still getting the same error on the latest Fedora 39 Gnome 45 Wayland. Either shortcut is set to run flameshot gui or /bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/flameshot gui'

However it do works with script workaround mentioned in the comment https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/3326#issuecomment-1788817632

I'm a Gnome 45 user, and both of these workarounds don't work for me.

Description

Flameshot doesn't work for me at all. If I do the three terminal setup from here and try running flameshot gui, nothing happens in the dbus-monitor. If I instead click on my tray and use the Take Screenshot feature, I get the following log:

As I mentioned, running with sh or using a separate executable file that then executes flameshot didn't work for me and lead to the same results.
