Fedora :: Enabled SysRq And Can't Take Screenshots?
Dec 1, 2009
I enabled my SysRq key and now can't take screenshots. I have no idea why this happened. I enabled it so that I could have a failsafe way to shut the system down in case of a failure and then this happened.
I tried many different ways to get a screen shot (gnome's tool, gimp, compiz plugin, xwd, import) and in all of them the screenshot was filled with jagged colored bars. I tried both with and without compiz and the same thing happened. I'm using gnome with fedora 11.
I want to practice some video casting - just using the webcam for now - I tried Cheese but got real choppy, slow video - is there another program that would work better on F12 ?
Also any ideas on how to "cut in" some screenshots ? I expect to use kino or kdenlive for any editing.
I've been having a bad problem with X freezing up (but not the whole system), and I hate continually performing unclean shutdowns with the power button.Will an Alt+SysRq+o shut down the system in a way that doesn't cause the loss of disk buffers? Obviously, whatever hasn't been saved to the buffer will be lost, but my concern extends to the buffers themselves.ext4 and autofsck make this less of an issue, but I hate the thought of unnecessary silent corruption until the freezing stops.
I do not have a mac, but I've used one and really like the one feature of the screenshots. Specifically, Command+Shift+3 which saves the screenshot to the desktop without having to open a program or anything like that.
Is there any way to do this in KDE? Ksnapshot is nice, but I'd like not to have to click the button every time.
I've tried the command line Import and it always gives me some X server not configured error or something, so that's not an option.
Where in God's green earth does ubuntu put screenshots/clipboard related material? I've made like 5 screenshots but am totally unable to locate them. Great Scott! In windows I know where there at!
I have received an email from Indian Railways which says that a screenshot has been included. And for mobile password use the link provided on site. When you click on link provided for activation of your account or try to log in for very first time on irctc site after registration enter the password provided in mail, for mobile verification password click on the link provided on right hand side on same page. Screen shot attached for your ready reference. However I don't find any screenshot. On my 32-bit laptop I have debian-squeeze. Is installation of some special package needed for viewing.
for creating screenshots. But I'm having problems with creating its structure. I'd like it to:
1- Check if there's a capture.png file on /home
2- If there is, check if there is a capture1.png file (and so on, until it reaches a captureNUMBER.png file that does not exist) If there is not, proceed
3- Take the snapshot after three seconds (so that I can go to the window I want)
4- Create a captureNUMBER.png file at /home
Here's my attempt (I don't know how to automatically change the name of the file, so my first idea was to create keep this structure until capture10.png)
I'm creating a presentation of OpenSUSE and want to take som screenshots of the whole screen and app-windowsI'm using OS11.2 KDE 4.3.5. Is there a tool for this?
I'm running 10.04 with compiz under gnome, and I'm having trouble getting my screenshots to capture properly. Currently they only display my wallpaper and not any windows or panels. I tried using the module in the custom settings manager but no key-binds seem to work, well either that or the plugin is failing to load when I initialise it.
I know in Fedora one can take screenshots during actual installation of the OS with Shift+Printscreen keys on the keyboard and then can access them as root in the folder /root/anaconda-screenshots. So how do I do the same while installing Ubuntu?
I created a kickstart file and put it on a floppy. I have installed several times to refine the process and confused. I am not sure if the kickstart file is even being used by grub. I specified
autostep --autoscreenshot The install STILL asks me all those questions I was trying to avoid by doing autostep in the first place, and /root/anaconda-screenshots coes not exist.
I specified linux = hd:fd0:/ks.cfg
as a Grub command line option. I got that line off a forum, so it may be inaccurate. Anyone know if that is correctd? If I screw that up, shouldn't anaconda complain about file-not-found? Are the screenshots only applicable to graphics mode or also to text mode? (I have been using text mode, assuming text file screen dumps would appear in that subdirectory...)
I followed Leigh123's nvidia guide, I can't seem to get my computer to allow 3D rendering. I'm using the 32 bit edition and I have a GeForce 9800 GT Graphics card. I'm pretty much a novice with Linux right now, so I know the problem most likley is that I've done something wrong. I did install Compiz, but it wont do anything.
I have an issue with crontab that I can't resolve even though I searched the web like crazy. I tried to create a new cron job for taking a screenshot automatically every minute with scrot using "crontab -e" like so...
when I run it in my shell it does work fine and it seems to run with cron also because the log.txt file is modified every minute, however when I run it through cron the screenshots don't appear in the screenshots directory and nowhere else either.
Other jobs in the same crontab run very well. It doesn't seem to be a PATH issue because the paths are complete.
I sometimes take screen shots of websites in Firefox. The easiest way is to use one of the many extensions, e.g. Screengrab. However, I have discovered that, when trying to take a screen shot of the entire web page, the lower part of the page is not captured. This happens on WordPress sites and, curiously, on Mozilla's own results pages. Other pages seem to be unaffected. However, on Chromium, it works perfectly.
It appears that the problem of Bluetooth which I suffer of them in version 12 is still in version 13, where I've upgraded and there are still problem. Bluetooth was working version 12 (before update). I was hoping that the problem is resolved version 13 but still problem I've had: Bluetooth is connected to usb , but the computer does not recognize Click on the button enable
this and well i just downloaded Fusion 14.1. (which is base on Fedora) Everything seems to be working right now except for the wireless....Im running a Dell 1501 with BCM 4311 or 12 something like that. Anyway, I have now idea what is going on as to why my wireless does not work. Im not very good at the command line so i would need step by step instructions on what to do
I was trying to install and run Compiz fusion with fedora 12. I downloaded all the packages etc using both the gui and terminal according to some guides. When I click the desktop effects button, it says 3d is not enabled, however the guide I followed said to enter glxgears (or something to that effect) and if it came up with 3d gears then 3d was enabled...I am very confused. There was an application I ran after downloading/installing some packages that caused the screen to go white and I had to reboot. I read in another forum this may have something to do with my drivers...gotta check my graphics card specs, will post when I find them.
Trying to keep selinux enabled. When I start SeLinux Troubleshooter from the menu, which is inautostart as well, It tells me SELinux not enabled, sealert will not run on nonSELinus systems".How do I get SELinux permanently started then
I want to take consecutive screenshots of a video using command line operations but I can't seem to find accurate documentation on different websites.Does anyone know how to do this using vlc, totem or another program?I've used ffmpeg as well, but then reencodes and splits the video file. I just want to take consecutive screenshots.
multiple issues started happening on a partition of mine. (probably whole installation and i haven't noticed since most of my files are on that partition)the most important one is that a certain folder appears to be empty even though it isn't. (screenshot "issue1")
the second issue is that files that are no longer on on the root folder of the partition (for example, lynx5.jpg on the screenshot "issue2") appear to be there. on "issue2" screenshot, it's the lynx image and the Gr_trees folder. removing them by deleting them doesn't work. moving there somewhere else makes them temporary gone - they reappear on reboot though. (the screenshots seem to be automatically converted to jpg when uploaded, if there is a problem you can find them here as well:[URL]..
edit : even though it's not the normal way to solve a problem : if reinstallation is definitely going to solve the problem, i have nothing against it.
