After update flameshot is now not taking screenshots.

i updated my system yesterday and now I am seeing that through flameshot I am unable to take any screenshots. I do not what went wrong. Is it alright to post about that here. I do need help in this matter.
from cli:

$ sudo flameshot full
[sudo] password for shobhit:
flameshot: warning: No DBus System Notification service found
flameshot: error: Could not locate the `org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop` service
flameshot: warning: No DBus System Notification service found
flameshot: error: Unable to capture screen
flameshot: warning: No DBus System Notification service found
flameshot: info: Screenshot aborted.

$ flameshot full
flameshot: error: Could not locate the `org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop` service
flameshot: error: Unable to capture screen
flameshot: info: Screenshot aborted.

Don't randomly sudo stuff - you'll cause more harm than good this way.

Same issue. Fixing xdg-desktop-portal didn't solve it for me, although it changed to the timeout error from complaining about the portal being missing. I threw hermes agent at it which managed to fix it though:

Qwen3.6 35B A3B wrote:

Root cause: Flameshot v14 detects xdg-desktop-portal on the D-Bus session and tries to use the screenshot portal. But no backend provides screenshot support for Awesome WM on X11 (the GTK portal doesn't include it), so the call hangs for 30 seconds then fails.
Fix: Added useX11LegacyScreenshot=true to ~/.config/flameshot/flameshot.ini. This tells flameshot to bypass the portal and use Qt's native X11 screenshot capture instead.
The config now reads:
[General]
...
useX11LegacyScreenshot=true
Tested — flameshot full captures a 5120×1440 PNG successfully. The gui mode (interactive annotation) should also work now since it uses the same underlying capture path.
