Further explanation: Legacy screenshot tools that use X11 will not work in a Wayland session. This is because X has no control over the screen. It is Wayland rendering the screen. So if you run any legacy screenshotting tool, it will connect to Xwayland and Xwayland will just see all black. This is expected and some would say is a security feature.
As Jeremy said, you need to use different screenshotting techniques in a Wayland session. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1709780 Title: Screenshots do not work in Wayland session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1709780/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
