[Post-Install] Spectacle Issue (screen blanks)

[fstorm08]

Hello Everyone,

I have search this quite a bit and not quite sure when this started.

When I try to run Spectacle (or any screenshot program), my screen blanks until I hit "ESC".

Kinfo output is below:

Operating System: Kubuntu 26.04 LTS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.24.0
Qt Version: 6.10.2
Kernel Version: 7.0.0-30-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 4600G with Radeon Graphics
Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.0 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics

My graphics are embedded on the CPU.

I have checked the "amdgpu" version and seems to be the latest driver and system is up to date with all the latest updates.

I did come across a suggestion to switch to x11 from Wayland but believe this version of Kubuntu I am on does not support x11.

I am not sure where to proceed from here.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Welcome to KFN.

X11 is supported on 26.04, it just isn't installed by default. To install it, open a Konsole and type: sudo apt update && sudo apt install plasma-session-x11

Afterwards, close Konsole and logout and log back in. At the Login Greeter screen, click on Desktop Session: Plasma (Wayland) and click on Plasma (X11).

Bingo Bongo! I can screen capture again under x11 and not Wayland. Thank you Snowhog!
