How can I capture a screenshot of the login screen (GDM) in Ubuntu 17.10?
Previous answers to questions such as How can I take a screenshot of the login screen? do not apply to Ubuntu 17.10 because it uses Wayland by default.

4@SouravGhosh you links are helpful but 17.10 is actually in the long row of Ubuntu versions an Unicorn, since it uses wayland by default which complicates things I guess. – Videonauth Dec 21 '17 at 20:44

1Sorry, I should've specified in my question: those answers indeed don't work on 17.10 because of Wayland. – Merlijn Sebrechts Dec 22 '17 at 07:52

It might work if you force gdm log-screen to be X based btw. If you want i can write an answer bout that. – Videonauth Dec 22 '17 at 11:35

@Videonauth, sure, although I prefer a solution that works with wayland. – Merlijn Sebrechts Dec 22 '17 at 14:40
