Screensharing a whole screen only shows a black screen

SUMMARY
***
Trying to screenshare/screenrecord a whole screen on Wayland only shows a black screen with the cursor inside it. When selecting a single application the window shows fine in the stream, but the cursor isn't shown. xdg-desktop-portal-kde seems to be running according to System monitor.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any screenshare/screenrecord application like Firefox, OBS Studio or even the xdg-desktop-portal-kde testing utility (https://invent.kde.org/libraries/xdg-portal-test-kde).
2. Choose to screenshare/screenrecord a whole screen or single window.
3. Select a screen or single window in the xdg-desktop-portal-kde dialog.

OBSERVED RESULT
Black screen with only a cursor when screensharing a whole screen, and the window content when screensharing a single window but whith no cursor. Below are attached some screenshots

EXPECTED RESULT
When selecting a whole screen the whole screen should be seen in the stream (or in the screencapture app like OBS Studio) with the cursor and when selecting a single window that window should be seen in the stream o app with the cursor.

The error occurs here: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/blob/c31288d2ad570d69bfa49268e7fb282169f24542/src/plugins/platforms/drm/egl_gbm_backend.cpp#L713

Kwin logs "kwin_wayland_drm: Failed to record frame: Error creating EGLImageKHR -  12300 " after switching glGetError() to eglGetError(), which is EGL_BAD_PARAMETER. Already tried using EGL_NO_CONTEXT like it suggests in the spec for EGL_NATIVE_PIXMAP_KHR but still see the same error.

OBS Studio log file

Can confirm. Occurs in my computer too in Arch Linux with NVIDIA.

This is still broken with new Plasma 5.24.0 update and Nvidia drivers v510.47.03 :/

Comment 4 Elias 2022-03-25 19:57:06 UTC

Lately (or only in my case?) this is not KDE specific. I tested on Gnome on Fedora 36. Screencapture is also black there.

Yup it's affecting all DEs.
