Flameshot fails to run on Ubuntu Wayland

Needed to create a wrapper for Flameshot on Ubuntu Wayland in order to work.

I use the folder ~/bin for general scripts, which is on the path. Created file called flameshot-wrapper.sh.

File content:

#!/bin/bash
if [ "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE" = "wayland" ]; then
    export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
    export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0
    export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$(id -u)
else
    export DISPLAY=:0
    export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority
fi
/usr/bin/flameshot gui

Don’t forget….

chmod +x flameshot-wrapper.sh

Then create a system keyboard shortcut to flameshot-wrapper.sh. I used Ctrl + Shit + S.
