One can take a screenshot - i.e. to store it in the memory by pressing PrtScr. But I failed to find how to write it into a graphic file? In particular in Xfce which does not have a graphic file editor
I was trying to upload a screenshot.png file in a thread 'what your non-debian desktop looks like' on the 'off topic' section. However my filewas of length 509KB but only files of length lower than 256KB could be uploaded. What is the way to scale down the length of the file?
When I press )print screen button ) it says ....here was an error running gnome-screenshot:Failed to execute child process "gnome-screenshot" (No such file or directory)
I have some videos I am looking to share and post to a couple of places. I am looking to preview to the potential downloaders the file quality, plus some statistical info. In Windows Media Players Classic, as shown in my example here, you have the length of the video, file size, file name... and in each frame preview you have a time stamp stating at what part of the video the from is from.is there a program in linux that can do this for me? That can generate the same (or maybe more) info automatically?
I use Debian Squeeze and I would like to ask if someone knows a program to take a screenshot of a selected area of my screen. I already know imageshack and scrot, but they don't do what I need because I need to know previously coordinates and the dimension of the selected area. I need a program that I could select a rectangle with my mouse to take a screenshot of that part.I don't know if I'm clear what I'm trying to say is that I need something like this google-chrome plugin[URL]
I have two students whose windows laptops are riddled with malware and not working properly. They want me to help them install Linux (which we use in school), but they are concerned about their iTunes.
Having avoided iPods as "defective by design", I know nothing about iTunes whatsoever. However I remember reading about DRM locking and such problems that have me concerned that I won't be able to do it.
Where does iTunes store its stuff?
Can I copy its data store to an external drive, and then into a linux home?
Then will it work on wine, or can another manager (rhythmbox etc) access the itunes data?
Alternatively, if I partition the drive and install linux, can rythmbox/wine/something access itunes data on the win partition?
Supposing they are buying music through iTunes, what will happen to that account?
Finally, one of them has an iphone. Does that work with linux?
Ironic that an apple application is blocking migration away from windows.
In my office there is a department where the access of internet & intranet is very limited. I've been given a task that I should add a script which would automatically take screenshots of the PCs. The script works fine, but I can't make it work with the cron jobs. There are many methods given on the internet to grab screen, but none of them works with cron.
I have a problem with Gnome-screenshot and Select area to grab : a crosshair appears, but no lines to select an area. I've also added a Custom ApplicationLauncher to my gnome-panel with command :import -frame screenshot.png having the same problem..The weird thing is that after using ksnapshot ( I've been using KDE before ) the aforementioned applications will work as they should

I am writting a program that reads a text file (music.txt) & stores it in a Data Structure. I am a novice learning over the internet so I this is something I have never done. How do I do this?
Quote:
Write a program that reads the data from the music.txt file and store it in a data structure. To implement this data structure you must use an array of songs and each song must be represented by a struct with appropriate fields. So far all I can do is open to file to read it (very simple I know) but so far is it correct?

I am using an internal toy svn server, and svn client seems to be configured to store passwords in gnome-keyring by default. How can I disable it or at least switch to kwallet?I am using Debian Testing.

I've got 4 identical 1 TB drives and would like to use them in a software RAID configuration on my home server. I'm running Debian Linux using 'mdadm' utility to manage the software RAID. I don't know how much I've read is fact or dated or even false so I decided I would ask here to get help from people who know more about this than I do. This is essentially just a file server machine to store all my data so being that I've got four identical SATA hard drives, I was thinking about doing RAID level 5. I guess I'll start here and ask if that is the recommended level of RAID. I think RAID level 5 will be fine for my general server usage. My second issue is partitioning the four individual drives to get maximum performance / space from them. Basically just asking here how would you or you recommend I partition the drives? I was thinking about doing three seperate partitions per drive:
/dev/sda1 = 4 GB (swap)/dev/sda2 = 1 GB (/boot)/dev/sda3 = 995 GB (/)Now from that partition schema above, obviously all the types will be 'fd' for RAID and the partition for /boot is going to be bootable. My confusion is that I read Grub doesn't support booting from RAID 5 since Grub can't handle disk assembly. If /dev/sdx2 (sda2, sdb2, sdc2, sdd2) are partitioned for /boot (bootable), how would you guys configure this RAID to match up equally? I don't think I do a RAID level 1 on 4 identical partitions, right?
I added a song to my basket and when I click Checkout....it just stays on this message "Connecting you to the Ubuntu One Music Store..." and does nothing.
Using 10.04 64 bit. Just took a screen shot of my desktop, but now I can't find it. It's not on my Desktop nor my home folder nor the Pictures folder. Where the heck did it go? I used Applications>>Accessories>>Take Screen Shot.
