I’ve been encountering an issue with the screen sharing feature in KDE Plasma, and I’m hoping someone here can help me troubleshoot it.
Background: I’m using KDE Plasma on Ubuntu 22.04, and I often need to share my screen during online meetings and presentations. However, recently I’ve noticed that the screen sharing feature isn’t working as expected.
Issue: When I try to start screen sharing, either through the built-in feature or using third-party applications like Zoom or Microsoft Teams, the screen sharing session begins but the shared screen appears blank or frozen to the participants. I can see my screen perfectly fine on my end, but others can’t see anything or see only a static image.
Troubleshooting: I’ve tried a few troubleshooting steps, including:
- Restarting my computer and the screen sharing application.
- Checking for updates to KDE Plasma and relevant drivers.
- Adjusting screen resolution and refresh rate settings.
- Testing screen sharing with different applications and on different networks.
Observations: Despite these efforts, the issue persists. Interestingly, screen sharing was working perfectly fine until a recent update to either KDE Plasma or Ubuntu. I’m unsure if the problem lies with my system configuration, a compatibility issue with KDE Plasma, or a bug introduced in the recent update.
Request for Assistance: If anyone has encountered a similar problem or has suggestions for troubleshooting steps, I would greatly appreciate your insights. Additionally, if there are specific logs or configurations I should check to diagnose the issue further, please let me know.
Any help or guidance would be highly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
