I installed Flameshot and found that it launches but can’t capture screenshots. I checked the troubleshooting guide https://flameshot.org/docs/guide/troubleshooting/ and ran this command:

env QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1.5 QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS="" flameshot gui

A window popped up asking permission for screen recording, but I accidentally clicked Deny. Now when I run the same command, I get the error shown in the screenshot.

How can I get the screen recording permission prompt to show up again? Any ideas would be appreciated!"

An easy GUI tool to manage flatpak permissions is Flatseal:

flatpak install flathub com.github.tchx84.Flatseal
flatpak run com.github.tchx84.Flatseal
3

This seems to be software for managing flatpak applications, but my flameshot is rpm package installed with dnf.

Thank you for your answer, this method is useful, but I can’t set all apps to allow screenshots. So what if I just want to set up flameshot alone? Thank you for your teaching.

You can delete the incorrect permission like this:

busctl --user call \
    org.freedesktop.impl.portal.PermissionStore \
    /org/freedesktop/impl/portal/PermissionStore \
    org.freedesktop.impl.portal.PermissionStore \
    Delete ss screenshot screenshot

Then let the app create it properly.

I have an additional question. What should I do if it is related to screen recording permissions? Is it enough to change the two “screenshot” in the command?
