SUMMARY

Running this script works well on KDE using x11 it gives an error calling CreateSession:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use x11 backend on KDE
2. Run the script
2. Check the error

"Failed to create session: 2"

Screen cast working as it does on the wayland backend

    if (!WaylandIntegration::isStreamingAvailable()) {
        qCWarning(XdgDesktopPortalKdeScreenCast) << "zkde_screencast_unstable_v1 does not seem to be available";
        return 2;
    }

The screencast portal is not implemented on X11

Comment 4 TraceyC 2025-02-24 17:58:10 UTC
