## Can't screen anything on Wayland Gnome

**Symptom:** Launcher (right-click on tray icon, then "Open Launcher") does not show anything in the preview section (left-side of the window)

You install `xdg-desktop-portal-gnome` and `xdg-desktop-portal`.


## Gnome shortcut does not trigger Flameshot

**Symptom:** When using a shortcut (Print screen) to run Flameshot I get "Unable to capture screen". When I run the command from the shortcut in a terminal, it works. Both used to work fine before, but stopped working after my daily updates. The normal Gnome screenshot program still works. [[source](https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/3365)]

We don't have a definit answer of what in Gnome have changed, but Gnome users have provided the following solution:

Run the `flameshot gui` via a shell script

```sh
script --command "flameshot gui" /dev/null
# or
bash -c -- "flameshot gui"
# or
sh -c -- "flameshot gui"
```

If this didn't solve your issue or if you are not sure what you do about this, Best places to look for are [#3365](https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/3365) and [#3326](https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/3326).
