Google Colab's Black Screenshot of Death: monitor-1

ponty commented 3 years ago

Please use text for reports: the program and the messages. I don't want to type in your program from the video.

Try first without mss. Is there any error then?

from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
try:  
  disp = Display().start()
except Exception as e:
  disp.stop()
  print(e)
else:
  disp.stop()
  print("Ok!")

Seems like that is mss issue then, also ImageGrab for Screenshot example listed on README.md doesn't work on Linux because it requires windows or mac to do so. (ImportError: ImageGrab is macOS and Windows only)

Check https://github.com/ponty/pyscreenshot/issues/79

MSS was designed for X desktop and it reuses the display. It doesn't like if X is destroyed. For screenshot I recommend Pillow. My lib pyscreenshot can also be used.

If you get this error message on Linux then your Pillow version is old.
