Description Martin van Es 2009-11-12 11:51:04 UTC

Version:           0.8.1 (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I used to see a rectangle designating the selected region when snapshotting a region, but I don't see that anymore. I use compiz and ubuntu KDE packages from launchpad.

Comment 1 FiNeX 2009-11-13 10:57:45 UTC

does it work with kwin?

Comment 2 Martin van Es 2009-11-13 14:02:17 UTC

No, kwin has the problem also.
The video card is Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (lspci output), using xserver-xorg-video-intel driver 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2.

I would make a snapshot of the problem, but
1. That would be a recursive problem since I would need Ksnapshot for that and
2. It would show 'nothing', which isn't that interesting after all ;)

I /do/ see the dimensions of what should be the center of my selection however!

Comment 3 Martin van Es 2009-11-28 13:10:22 UTC

The same happens on 2 other Kubuntu (karmic) machines, both sporting (mobile) intel chipsets.

Comment 4 Paul L. 2010-01-11 08:03:54 UTC

Can confirm this. Running Kubuntu 9.10 (Karmic), KDE 4.3.2, KSnapshot 0.8.1

When Region is selected, it doesn't 'paint' the area being selected - you have no visual means of verifying the area being selected.

Comment 5 Dr. Bill Benson 2010-01-11 08:22:53 UTC

I too confirm this. Running Kubuntu x64 v9.10 (Karmic), KDE 4.3.2, KSnapshot 0.8.1

Selected Region is not 'painted'.

No means of verifying what area has been selected.

I Can confirm this. Running Kubuntu 9.10 (Karmic), KDE 4.3.3, KSnapshot 0.8.1
Selected Region is not 'painted'.

so thars no means of verifying what area has been selected.

KSnapshot 0.8.1 / Kubuntu 9.10 (i386) / KDE 4.3.2 / Ati (xserver-xorg-video-ati)

Here the KSnapshot seems to work normally. Image:http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/9277/ksnapshot.png.

Are you all using the Ubuntu/Intel. Is that the common cause ?

Maybe this is an Intel driver bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel.

Comment 8 Martin van Es 2010-01-14 21:30:33 UTC

This problem is fixed for me using Kubuntu Karmic (backports repository enabled). Versions of relevant(?) packages at the moment:

ksnapshot: 4:4.3.4-0ubuntu1~karmic1 (about dialog: Version 0.8.1)
libdrm-intel1: 2.4.14-1ubuntu1
xserver-xorg-video-intel: 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2.1
kernel: 2.6.32 (homebrew) with i915 KMS enabled.

Comment 9 vinnywright 2010-01-20 00:11:06 UTC

the intel driver update that came in on or around the 18th of jan 2010 fixed this for me.
Kubuntu 9.10 (Karmic), KDE 4.3.3, KSnapshot 0.8.1
with onley standerd repos (all the ones you can check in software sources) and medibuntu

Comment 10 Paul L. 2010-01-20 02:04:12 UTC

Can confirm. The updated xserver-xorg-video-intel:

Version: 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2.1                                           
Replaces: xserver-xorg (<< 6.8.2-35), xserver-xorg-driver-i810, xserver-xorg-video-i810 (<< 2:1.9.91-1), xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting, xserver-xorg-video-intel-modesetting                                                              
Provides: xserver-xorg-video-5

Which came in yesterday (for me) has fixed the problem.
