BluesKajHi all12:12
TomyLoboon kubuntu 24.04, the screenshot tool (spectacle) appears to have a bug (at least on wayland). if I bind the shortcut "Capture Rectangular Region", then close Spectacle and use the shortcut, then select an area and click Export -> Share -> Imgur, it uploads almost my entire desktop, instead of just the part of the screen I selected. if I instead click "Copy" (or press enter), it copies the correct area.13:33
TomyLobodoes anyone have a workaround for this?13:33
TomyLobofor anyone trying to reproduce this, google's ai suggests it might have to do with fractional scaling13:34
MekaneckUsing AI for troubleshooting is certainly not recommended. If you think it's a bug the best place to report it is on Launchpad. If you have issues on Wayland try switching back to Xorg which is still possible on 24.0413:39
TomyLoboI'm not using AI for troubleshooting here13:40
TomyLobobut google search has that thing in there and since it told me about a possible connection to fractional scaling, I'd say it's at least possible there's a connection13:41
TomyLoboand no, I like my security, I'm not going back to X11 :)13:41
TomyLobonext time there's a fractureiser-type threat infecting a ton of minecraft mods, it's less of a concern to me cause I run it in a well-sealed flatpak sandbox. makes it harder for it to access my browser cookies or something. and it can't do keylogging or screen recording either, because that's blocked by wayland13:45
MekaneckNewer KDE Plasma versions have better Wayland support, not sure what you're using on 24.04?13:45
TomyLobo5.27.1213:46
TomyLobobut yeah, can't wait for 26.04 :)13:46
TomyLoboswitching back and forth between wayland and x11 is not that great on 24.04. last time i had to reinstall the plasma-workspace-wayland package in order to get back into wayland after trying something on X1113:49
TomyLobootherwise it would just black screen whenever I tried13:50
Mekaneck5.27 well yeah not great wayland support afaik. Not suggesting or recommending but i have KDE Neon running on a spare machine with the latest stable KDE Plasma release on wayland since a couple of days and seems to work great up to now.13:53
TomyLobohmm, is the bug i mentioned still there?13:55

RikMillshttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/NobleNumbat/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu#Plasma_Wayland_session14:18
RikMills"A Plasma Wayland session is available for testing by installing the plasma-workspace-wayland package, but is not supported. A Wayland session can then be started by selecting it at the login screen."14:18
RikMillsthat will reverse for 26.0414:19
RikMillsi.e. wayland session being the supported one, and X11 NOT14:19
TomyLobothat's what I'm using, yeah14:21
TomyLoboand I'm not sure it's actually a wayland problem14:21
cbreak25.10 wayland works nicely15:17
cbreakwith plasma 6.4.515:17
TomyLobocbreak, can you reproduce that bug I mentioned?16:17

cbreakTomyLobo: screenshots work just fine here16:31
TomyLobocbreak, what about the export feature?16:32
IrcsomeBot<abd ennour> It's difficult and not understandable.16:32
cbreakexporting doesn't work: it spits out a non-descript error16:32
TomyLoboin conjunction with the rectangular region global shortcut16:32
IrcsomeBot<abd ennour> From this perspective, it works well.16:33
cbreakThere was a problem sharing the image: /tmp/Spectacle.mMatSw/Screenshot_20251221_173327.png is what it reports16:33
cbreakmight be a but with spectacle, sharing via e-mail also doesn't work, with error indicating the file doesn't exist.16:35
cbreakTomyLobo: if I accept the region first, and then export, it works: https://i.imgur.com/TdRjCmw.png16:36
TomyLobocbreak, did you close the tool before using the shortcut key?16:41
cbreakit wasn't running, yes16:42
cbreakbut it seems sharaing only works after clicking accept / enter / return16:42
TomyLobohmm, if i accept the region, the tool closes and a notification area popup appears16:42
cbreakfor me, a spectacle window opens allowing me to edit, save, copy or export the image16:43
TomyLoboyeah I'd like that too, but it's not what's happening :)16:43
