Black screen #383

Closed nick1981 closed 5 months ago

Hi Team,

I've just installed scrot on a fresh new Debian 12 system.

But when executing scrot without any option in the terminal, it creates a black screen.

How to overcome this? It was working properly on my two others computers, all Debian 12.

Below the system specs :

Chassis: desktop 🖥️ Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-21-amd64 Architecture: x86-64 Hardware Vendor: Hewlett-Packard Hardware Model: HP ProDesk 400 G2 MT TPM DP Firmware Version: L02 v02.39

scrot version 1.8.1
