RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Martin Krajnak 2020-08-31 08:28:42 UTC
Description of problem:
We recently found out that sharing the whole screen under Wayland does not work. Thanks to investigation done by Jan Grulich, we found out that the version of the mutter API needs to be bumped up. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mutter-3.32.2-46.el8.x86_64
pipewire-0.3.6-1.el8.x86_64
firefox-78.2.0-2.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run Firefox
2.Go to https://www.webrtc-experiment.com/Pluginfree-Screen-Sharing/#36152465692193694
3.Share the screen

Actual results:
Black screen. only a mouse cursor can be seen.

Expected results:
The screen content should be shared.

Additional info from Jan:

We now have the latest Firefox properly built against PipeWire 0.3, but we still fail to share a screen. This seems to be a generic issue, not only in Firefox as using the Python script [1] fails too. 

Running xdg-desktop-portal-gtk with debug, I get the answer why this is broken:
Failed to start session: org.gnome.Mutter.ScreenCast API version 2 lower than minimum supported version 3

We need to bump the supported API version in Mutter, then it should hopefully work.
