Since I started using Jammy (22.04), if I use gimp screenshot, it returns a black screen.

I understand that the issue is in relation with wayland which limit access between software for more safety.

Is there a solution?
Or should I use default screen-shot (https://stackoverflow.com/a/25587225/6614155)

I saw similar issue for visio-conf : https://askubuntu.com/a/1339294/385361

You can always change from Wayland to Xorg by logging out, pressing the setting icon on the bottom right, selecting Ubuntu on Xorg, and logging back in.

If there is a reason why you want to use Wayland, you should definitely use the default screenshot (GNOME-Screenshot).

I don't get why you want to use a screenshot built with gimp, not its built-in application.

If you don't want to use gnome-screenshot you can always get an alternative like Flameshot or Kazam - those are two really good ways to take a screenshot, and they both work in Wayland.

Hope this helped you in a way and good luck!
