Flameshot Version
Flameshot v12.1.0 (b61b0472)
Installation Type
Compiled from source
Operating System type and version
Arch Linux, Linux 6.7.4, Wayland, KDE Plasma 5.93.0, AMDgpu
Description
On KDE Plasma 6, the following gets output when running flameshot gui
flameshot: error: Unable to capture screen
flameshot: error: Unable to capture screen
QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to SidePanelWidget "", which already has a layout
qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()
flameshot: info: Screenshot aborted.
Downgrading to KDE Plasma 5 resolves the problem. I have xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-kde and OBS, Spectacle work just fine, it's just Flameshot which doesn't work.
Steps to reproduce
- run
flameshot guiunder KDE Plasma 6 RC 2. - see error

No response

I got the same bug on Fedora 39, KDE Plasma 6 RC 2.
` alpha39@fedora$ flameshot gui
flameshot: error: Unable to capture screen
flameshot: error: Unable to capture screen

I have the same on Plasma 6 final release, Opensuse Tumbleweed
I am having a similar issues on KDE Neon 6.0 user edition in OBS
I only get the single line:
qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()before locking up. I can kill the process with CTRL+C, but no screenshot.
A temporary workaround for flameshot at least is to make it believe it is running under sway with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway flameshot gui. The GUI will be displayed and it appears to function properly.
Strangely, after upgrading on Arch from Plasma 6 RC 2 to the final 6.0.0 release in extra-testing / kde-unstable, it just works for me on both of my computers.
i updated my flameshot and it worked
