SUMMARY KWin::ScreenShotDBusInterface2::checkPermissions() always false on FreeBSD X11, because KWin::fetchRestrictedDBusInterfacesFromPid(pid) uses linux specific code, which reads from /proc FS static inline QStringList fetchRestrictedDBusInterfacesFromPid(const uint pid) { const auto executablePath = QFileInfo(QStringLiteral("/proc/%1/exe").arg(pid)).symLinkTarget(); return fetchProcessServiceField(executablePath, s_dbusRestrictedInterfaceName); } instead of reusing of portable executablePathFromPid(pid_t) from src/utils/executable_path.h STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch spectacle OBSERVED RESULT It shows An error occurred while taking a screenshot. KWin screenshot request failed: The process is not authorized to take a screenshot Potentially relevant information: - Method: CaptureScreen - Method specific arguments: "DP-0" EXPECTED RESULT No errors.
