it’s quite annoying that after updating kde plasma I can’t take screenshots without logging out and back in again:

An error occurred while taking a screenshot.
KWin screenshot request failed:
The process is not authorized to take a screenshot
Potentially relevant information:
- Method: CaptureScreen
- Method specific arguments: "DP-4"

does anyone know if there is any solution to this that does not involve re-logging-in (and therefore killing all graphical programs)?

I can still take screenshots by manually invoking spectacle, but the print screen button doesn't work

the problem seems to be that for whatever reason it's invoking the old spectacle binary. if I use printscreen it's /gnu/store/b33yav3j8vgskmy0y9qsn3pwa0dbmzyj-spectacle-6.5.5/bin/.spectacle-real, if I invoke it manually it's /gnu/store/n1dccw00fzgb8c1mx9q09nzzv6k6jwvx-spectacle-6.5.5/bin/.spectacle-real

I think I will just have to reboot (after 26 days of uptime)
