Steps to reproduce
First try the using the command flameshot gui in terminal. This does exactly what clicking on the tray icon does (make sure can you see Flameshot icon in the tray area).
If the step above didn't work:
Open 3 terminals Kill Flameshot if it is already open using: pkill flameshot In the first terminal run: dbus-monitor --session sender=org.flameshot.Flameshot In the second terminal run: flameshot In the third terminal run the command you want us to investigate. For example: flameshot gui

This has been reported before. Also the "steps to reproduce" is direct copy-paste from our own documentation and is not relevant to what you are reporting. Therefore this is invalid bug report.
I will keep this open until I found the issue that this one is duplicate of.
Please for the next issue do your best to search among open and closed issues, and also we are all volunteers here, so the more careless you fill the bug report form, the more time and effort we should spend on figuring things out. Would be nice if you pay more attention and care for the next bug report. Thank you.
I know these steps are already mentioned in the previous bug report, As for the confirmation I have mentioned that the flameshot is working fine with these steps but is not accessible with the taskbar, when we click the flame shot icon on the task bar nothing happens, but after executing just flameshot on terminal it also runs fine from the taskbar. Apologies if you find anything confusing.
I can confirm that I'm also unable to capture a screenshot using the taskbar icon on Ubuntu 23.04 if the program is invoked by Gnome either during startup or by the launcher. If I start flameshot from a terminal, then I can use the taskbar icon to capture screenshots.
apparently it is working normally with sudo apt-get install flameshot
Facing the issue on Ubuntu 23.04
When changing to wayland by commenting WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf in, Flameshot stops working with Unable to capture error
I have all these packages installed, also flameshot installed with apt
Flameshot v12.1.0 (Debian 12.1.0-2)
Compiled with Qt 5.15.8
- xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
- gir1.2-xapp-1.0
- libxapp-dev xapp-sn-watcher libxapp-gtk3-module
Does any working solution to make flameshot working with wayland
I solve this in Ubuntu 23.10 just changed command in the startup programs
sh -c -- "flameshot"
That`s all.
probably a bug
That's why the issue was created!
On 23.10 the issue is not whether flameshot will start -- it is an issue of whether it can take a screenshot if started from the Ubuntu dock:

I used sh -c -- "flameshot gui" instead and worked on Ubuntu 24.04

It does work, but it also starts ubuntu sessions with a screenshot ;)
