> The process is not authorized to take a screenshot This means Spectacle was compiled from source in a different base location than the one used by KWin, or else you've monkeyed with Spectacle's .desktop file in a way that triggered this issue. Did you knowingly do either of those things?

I did not modify the “.desktop” file or any other file, I did not compile Spectacle from the source file (the system is up to date and I can generate the same errors)
