ubuntu 22 lts - records black screen

[akomm]

I'v used it on ubuntu 18 lts and it worked. After updating to 22 lts chronicle records black screen with only the mouse visible.

The logs don't show any errors and ffmpeg is installed.

One notable thing I know changed between 18 and 22 is the fact that the later is using wayland by default. Is this maybe causing issues?

So yeah, Wayland support doesn't exist yet, as Wayland explicitly disallows knowing what windows are available for recording. The current strategy is to integrate with each desktop environment individually and use their constructs for querying active windows (and various geometry). I'm still holding out hope that this gets resolved at some point as Windows, OSX, and X11 all currently support this.

Thanks for confirming. I had a feeling that is the case. The default recording tool in ubuntu 22 has option for screenshot, record and window or display. When switching to record, the window option is disabled, you can only select a display. I guess it might be for the same reason. But it seems like they did it via display because its easier?

Maybe that info helps, if you don't already know that.
