Hey thanks for your report. Can you open Terminal and try launching screenshot with:

flatpak run io.elementary.screenshot

And if there's any output can you copy and paste that here please?

Hi Danielle,

Thanks for the prompt reply. Here's the output from that command:

jonolumb@Tuxedo:~$ flatpak run io.elementary.screenshot
MESA: error: Failed to query drm device.
libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen

Looks like it's some graphics issue. I'm on a Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro 14.

Thanks and happy to troubleshoot this further if needs be.

Hm, I found this post that suggests it might be related to apparmor: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/755973/firefox-youtube-freezes-because-of-failure-to-query-drm-device

but from your other post where you said you’ve been using auto remove, it makes it difficult to really know what could have gone wrong for you

Thanks, here's what solved it for me:
jonolumb@Tuxedo:~$ flatpak override --user --device=dri io.elementary.screenshot

It is now working again, FYI.

Oh interesting! I've proposed #322

Great - would indeed be handy if this is built in!
