- *Error sharing screen in linux.**
When trying to share your screen on Slack, discord and meet. The screen goes black or only the mouse appears.
To work around this problem, open the root folder of the computer. Go to “/etc”. Then “/gdm3”. Open the terminal, in the folder, as super user. And open the file “custom.conf”; “ $nano custom.conf ”
this will open:
# GDM configuration storage

# See /usr/share/gdm/gdm.schemas for a list of available options.

The WaylandEnable=false is commented out. Just remove the # from the WaylandEnable=false. Save the file and restart your computer.
