Description Jakub Steiner 2020-09-26 10:26:30 UTC

Description of problem:

fedora 33 currently ships with version 1.7.2 of xdg-desktop-portal. For things like screen capture to work on Wayland, gnome-shell needs version 1.8. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run default gnome session on wayland
2. Install OBS from flathub (or any app that makes use of the screen capture portal (https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/portal-docs.html#gdbus-org.freedesktop.portal.ScreenCast)
3. Add a Desktop or Window Capture element.

Actual results:

App never brings up the portal dialog to allow capturing windows or desktop. 1.7.2 would work with gnome-shell 3.36, but gnome-shell 3.38 needs 1.8

Expected results:
Screen capture working in F33.

Comment 1 David King 2020-09-28 09:30:08 UTC

1.8.0 of xdg-desktop-portal (and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk) has now gone stable in F33, so will be the version that ends up on installed systems, but this dependency should probably end up in the gnome-shell package. gnome-shell currently has an unversioned dependency on xdg-desktop-portal-gtk, so I am not sure whether adding a version to that dependency, or a new versioned dependency on xdg-desktop-portal, is more appropriate.

Comment 2 David King 2020-09-29 13:26:23 UTC

Ironically, the linked portal documentation does not, include the new API that gnome-shell requires. The dependency is on xdg-destop-portal-gtk, as that is the backend for xdg-desktop-portal that uses gnome-shell, so adding the version to the existing dependency seems the right way to go.
