Launching Spectacle (failed) Remote peer disconnected

Support Software & Applications

Today out of the blue it started crashing when launching Spectacle with the message Launching Spectacle (failed) Remote peer disconnected.

I switched from Wayland to X11 and Spectacle is starting again. Hmmm, strange… Until the next updates, I will stay on X11.

This post from ArchLinux forum worked for me.

Delete libva-vdpau-driver and replace with libva-nvidia-driver.

sudo pacman -S libva-nvidia-driver

Could the Qt upgrade be the cause of most of these problems?

The “remote peer disconnected” notice indicates an external connection of applications and if this connection fails the application cannot start… right?
I don’t know yet if it’s a good idea to bind standard applications to external systems … it would also enable tracking, etc.
