Screen recording/screenshot problems

General system EndeavourOS installation
1

Everytime I’d take a screenshot whether it be by flameshot, spectacle, or OBS-Studio, I always get this bug (external link download to MEGA)where it takes a screenshot of the desktop, or another window present. What should be done to fix this?

Welcome to the forum!

Can you elaborate, let’s start with spectacle… What option do you select for your screenshot? Can you describe your problem in more detail? Have you tried active window, whole desktop or selected region in your screen?

You could at least warn that you posted a link to an external file download in your link above… I don’t like that and not sure it is in line to forum rules and I would not have clicked on it.

With spectacle, this is the image that is produced whether it be Full Screen, Rectangular Region, Active Window, or Window Under Cursor
Full Screen

With Flameshot, this is the screenshot I get

With OBS-Studio, I took a screen capture video and this is the output

I can’t post the video to imgur because it throws an error when I try to

I apologize for this. If MEGA links aren’t allowed, what site should I post the video to share it with others in this forum? Thanks

I never use mega so I don’t know. Generally it should be sufficient to post the problem and system info (like you nicely did above :grin:) then forum users can ask some follow up questions.

I generally like to know what links are posted as I don’t click on Google drive or other video links… thanks for clarifying.

My guess is that you have some graphical glitches recorded. You could try disabling desktop effects on kde, I think it’s fn+F12 or Alt+Shift+F12 or similar shortcut. Another option is try modifying the renderer/compositor. I don’t use kde at the moment but for me these were kind of recurring bugs with plasma.

Check under graphical problems

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE#Graphical_problems

Another common thing is your graphics driver. Maybe worth a shot to try booting via lts kernel instead. If not installed, the welcome app has a link to install akm, in general it’s good to have a fallback kernel anyways.

https://discovery.endeavouros.com/endeavouros-tools/akm/2021/08/

Just a couple of options to try… More knowledge able KDE users may check in hopefully.

There is an odd bug that affects screenshot applications in kde when using the xf86-video-intel driver.

If you have the xf86-video-intel package installed, you could try removing it (which will default to the modesetting driver) and reboot.

Sorry for the late reply, life in school has been very busy lately. Removing xf86-video-intel fixed the screenshot problem. Thank you for this. I can now screenshare and send screenshots to my friends without any problems now

Thank you for the warm welcome! Out of all distros I tried, Endeavour OS has been my favorite. I’m planning to try Arch after I become more familiar with the system and when I’d have the time to do it. Looking forward for spending more time with you fam!

welcome and enjoy your stay here
