README.md

This program fixes password prompt spam in GPU Screen Recorder when used from flatpak and keep removing the password prompt spam even after updating GPU Screen Recorder flatpak. This program is meant to be ran with flatpak-spawn --host. This program is not meant to be run by the user and is automatically launched from GPU Screen Recorder flatpak.

The reason all of this is needed is because setcap cap_sys_admin+ep gsr-kms-server can't be done in the flatpak because of sandboxing so this is only done when you install GPU Screen Recorder from source/aur to workaround that limitation.

This program also launches gsr-global-hotkeys from the GPU Screen Recorder flatpak with root privileges.

The depends directory contains libcap from the libcap project, available here: https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/libcap2/. The version used is libcap-2.69.
