Help with screen recording on Wayland

w1se · 2024-03-09 09:51:53

I’ve been using X11all this time, but recently switched to Wayland on this laptop, mainly due to gestures being a lifesaver. But I can’t get screen recording to work for the life of me. I want to record games and some online videos using the GPU.
As I understand, this was solved long ago and should be doable, so help me out a bit.

On gpu-screen-recorder I get blank recordings when I try to record with prime-run

Is pipewire/wireplumber installed and started, as well as xdg-desktop-portal-kde ? But FWIW afaik actual GPU acceelerated proper grabbing is still in flux and not fully implemented in the relevant pipewire capture source logistics.
