Forwarded: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/8996
Control: affects -1 gnome-shell
Dear Debian folks,
Since the last GStreamer update in Debian sid/unstable I am unable to do
screen recordings, and the error below is logged in the journal:
org.gnome.Shell.Screencast[1148]: JS ERROR: Error: Expected type
utf8 for Argument 'argv' but got type 'null'
canScreencast@resource:///org/gnome/Shell/Screencast/js/screencastService.js:516:18
main@resource:///org/gnome/Shell/Screencast/js/main.js:6:28
@file:///usr/share/gnome-shell/org.gnome.Shell.Screencast:9:7
org.gnome.Shell.Screencast[1148]: Module
file:///usr/share/gnome-shell/org.gnome.Shell.Screencast threw an exception
I reported this upstream to gnome-shell [1], and a fix to gjs was merged
already two months ago [2]. It’d be great if you backported this fix.
Kind regards,
Paul

Changes:
gjs (1.87.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium

* New upstream release
* d/p: Remove patches applied upstream

.
gjs (1.87.1-1) experimental; urgency=medium

[ Alessandro Astone ]
* New upstream release
- Fix GST bindings (LP: #2129814, Closes: #1127677)
* d/p: Drop patch applied upstream
* d/p: Add patch from upstream to fix meson unity build
* d/p: Add patch from upstream to skip segfaulting autopkgtest
.
[ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
* d/p: Include upstream-proposed patch to support GLib 2.87.3.
Newer GLib will break gjs' GLibUnix usage so preemptively include the
patches to support it, so we don't have to block on this, as they also
safely work with previous GLib versions
