Wayland support is not proper but it should not crash immediately. Please make
sure you have the relevant wayland packages installed.

Hi.

The solution is impement that descibed in this post:

https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/2848

The user pintassilgo found the issue and fixed it.

The user zorn-v made this script that work fine:

============

#!/bin/bash

set  -e

rm -rf build
mkdir -p build
cd  build

sudo apt install devscripts equivs libkf5guiaddons-dev -y
sudo mk-build-deps -t'apt-get -y'  -ir flameshot

aptsource  flameshot
SRC_DIR=`ls | cut -f1 | head -n1`

pushd  ${SRC_DIR}
sed -i's/-DFLAMESHOT_ABOUT_DEB_VERSION/-DUSE_WAYLAND_CLIPBOARD=1
-DFLAMESHOT_ABOUT_DEB_VERSION/'  debian/rules
EMAIL=nobody@email.com  dch -n''
debuild -i -j -us -uc
popd

sudo apt purge flameshot-build-deps devscripts equivs libkf5guiaddons-dev --auto-remove -y

sudo dpkg -i flameshot_*.deb
rm -rf ../build
==============



SUGGEST:  Make the binary with the-DUSE_WAYLAND_CLIPBOARD=1  option set, because it works fine in X11 and Wayland.

Regards.
