On Wayland, trying to record my screen using Spectacle results in an error dialog, which says: ``` An error occurred while attempting to record the screen. Screen recording is not available on X11. ``` `kinfo` output: ``` libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 Kernel Version: 6.15.4-zen2-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × Intel® Core™ i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.5 GiB usable) Graphics Processor 1: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics Graphics Processor 2: llvmpipe ```
That's odd. I'm not able to reproduce this on git-master. Can you verify what version shows up in Spectacle -> Help -> About Spectacle? Thanks.
No idea why, but I'm now getting a completely different error dialog: ``` 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: "HDMI-A-1" ```

Have you knowingly manually forced Spectacle (or anything else, or everything) to use XWayland? Have you modified Spectacle's .desktop file at all? Is there anything for Spectacle in ~/.local/share/applications? Does this happen in a new clean user account on the same computer?
