Impossible to take screenshot under Gnome Wayland session

Open glaubersm opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

I use Gnome Wayland session on Antergos distro. Screenshot feature does not work, screenfetch generates a black picture.

This may actually be a bug in scrot or a general issue with Wayland.

Yes, scrot does not work on wayland.

Is there a screenshot tool for Wayland?

Yes: Gnome Screenshot and Spectacle (KDE).

sway (i3 for wayland) uses swaygrab, basically each has their own solution from my understanding.
