Starting in Ubuntu 17.10, totem (and some other apps like gnome-maps) use Wayland subsurfaces by default. This means the video (or maps) rectangle are able to redraw without redrawing the window decorations and saves a lot of CPU.
A side-effect of this is that screenshots didn't seem to work any more. However I believe that's just going to be a bug in gnome-shell/mutter, for not being able to screenshot its own Wayland subsurfaces. ** Also affects: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Also affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Tags added: wayland -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1721248 Title: Totem could not get a screenshot of the video when using gstreamer1.0-vaapi plugin on supported videos To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1721248/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
