wl-paste cannot paste screenshot from Phosh

    • Closed Imported Issue created by Administrator @root

    Describe your issue

    What's the expected behaviour?

    wl-paste (from wl-clipboard) should be able to paste the screenshot that Phosh copies to the clipboard.

    What's the current behaviour?

    wl-paste hangs indefinitely after taking a screenshot in Phosh.

    How to reproduce your issue?

    Take a screenshot in phosh, by long-pressing the physical power button to open the power menu and then touching the "screenshot" button that appears. A notification states that a screenshot has been copied to the clipboard, and running wl-paste --list-formats indicates that an image is on the clipboard. However, running wl-paste > new-screenshot.png hangs indefinitely.

    I also seem unable to paste the screenshot into Firefox. Copying images out of Firefox and pasting with wl-paste works.

    What device are you using?

    oneplus-enchilada

    Additional information

    Logs and more info may be found at this upstream bug report which I filed before learning that this seems to be due to the version of GTK3 that PmOS ships.

    It appears that this is fixed with a newer GTK3 version (3.24.37, from March 2023). It appears that the PmOS GTK3 package is two years old, and ships this commit. Probably we should ship a more recent actual release from the librem5 repo, but not a random MR commit from 2 years ago.

      This seems to be a problem in GTK3 itself--wl-paste -t image/png > out.png works and produces a sane screenshot when tested against a phosh running against a manually-updated GTK3 (to the latest purism commit, which we don't yet package in PmOS).
