I am new to spectacle AND Fedora 25 (long time user of Fedora 21 and ksnapshot). spectacle graphic window appears as expected. The spectacle graphic window disappears when I take a New Screenshot. The process is still running in background. I was experimenting to look for clues. I brought up spectacle from the command line (using Konsole) and I get the following error printed out: [mblair@localhost 05_Business_Development]$ spectacle& [1] 14352 [mblair@localhost 05_Business_Development]$ QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 2 QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap qrc:///QuickEditor/EditorRoot.qml:75:5: QML Image: Failed to get image from provider: image://snapshot/rawimage qrc:///QuickEditor/EditorRoot.qml:75:5: QML Image: Failed to get image from provider: image://snapshot/rawimage Does this help explain my problem with running spectacle? Thank you
In case the video driver is an issue here: *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: G98M [Quadro NVS 160M] vendor: NVIDIA Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0 version: a1 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0 resources: irq:31 memory:f5000000-f5ffffff memory:e0000000-efffffff
What version of Spectacle were you using when this happened? Does it still reproduce?
I learned that desktop environments GNOME and KDE are not mutually compatible when it comes to screenshot software. The KDE Spectacle will not work in classic GNOME – but will in KDE. The equivalent for Spectacle is GNOME Screenshot. So, when I am using GNOME, I am using Screenshot. And that solves my problem. But it does have some minor limitations.
OK, thanks!
