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
