Public bug reported: Using 18.04, when wayland is selected for the session, byzanz-record doesn't work. It always errors:
> byzanz-record -c -d 8 -x 10 -y 10 -w 200 -h 150 /tmp/test.gif Given area is not inside desktop. I've tried making sure I'm on the top-left workspace, I've tried various sizes / dimensions for the recording. It's a bummer that all my favorite tools for screen capture (e.g. see also shutter, https://bugs.launchpad.net/shutter/+bug/1502263) do not work in wayland. byzanz is still available via the package manager, so I assume it's supposed to work: root@6308ca588346:/# apt-cache show byzanz Package: byzanz Architecture: amd64 Version: 0.3.0+git20160312-2 Priority: optional Section: universe/graphics Origin: Ubuntu Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com> Original-Maintainer: Markus Koschany <a...@debian.org> Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug Installed-Size: 491 Depends: gstreamer1.0-libav, gstreamer1.0-plugins-base, gstreamer1.0-plugins-good, libc6 (>= 2.4), libcairo2 (>= 1.10.0), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.37.3), libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 (>= 1.0.0), libgstreamer1.0-0 (>= 1.4.0), libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.0.0), libxdamage1 (>= 1:1.1), libxfixes3 Filename: pool/universe/b/byzanz/byzanz_0.3.0+git20160312-2_amd64.deb Size: 85748 MD5sum: 86bdb8b04085adb97439096824f4c9dc SHA1: 172bed9aa0863e6c855321652b956146eb5df176 SHA256: 8a9b1dca28882265f431c6527be65a5a1c724d00823d1b4d0f81843e7fb06532 Homepage: http://git.gnome.org/browse/byzanz/ Description: small screencast creator Description-md5: 5d5533817071b4562ad22d04430e60e5 ** Affects: byzanz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Project changed: shutter => byzanz (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1827919 Title: byzanz-record (gif screen recording) does not work in wayland To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/byzanz/+bug/1827919/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
