General :: Take A Screenshot Of Tty2?
Apr 26, 2011If I'm in tty1, is it possible to take a screenshot of tty2? If I'm in tty1, can I take a screenshot of tty7 (which has xorg running in it)?

View 3 RepliesError occurred while booting from QEMU. I am building a minimalistic linux kernel using virtual hard disk. GRUB was loaded successfully. But while booting kernel, I got the following errors :
"can't open /dev/tty2 : No such device or address "
"can't open /dev/tty3 : No such device or address "
"can't open /dev/tty4 : No such device or address "
I, then created these files using mknod. Still the same errors occur.
I am new to Fedora. I just put it on my H.P AMD Quad core machine. I have eight gigs of ram and plenty of storage. I loaded it into Microsoft Virtual PC, and it boots fine and seems to work ok in tty1. I am a cit student at a community college and seem to get little to no support from my teacher who is teaching a beginning course on Linux. He told me to ask here. When I use ctrl-alt-f2 or f3-f4 and so on all the way up the levels, I got green lines across the screen, as if the graphics card is not working. I have 23 inch monitor and a Nvidia 9500 GT ddr3 512mb graphics card that I installed after I bought the computer. My host operating system is Windows 7 , and is working fine. I am now two weeks behind on labs for this class and getting nervous, I need to be able to go to tty2 to do these labs.

I have Kubuntu 10.04.1 I used the standard Kubuntu install disc. The Computer is a Compaq dm 220mt desktop 2.80 Ghz, 1.2 GB Ram, 40 GB Hard drive. I originally had Ubuntu 8.04 on it and it ran perfect. So I decided to do a fresh install of Kubuntu 10.04 and it worked great for a day or two, then this issue happens. I am able to log in tty and tried "sudo startx" in hope of getting my graphics back. I get the following errors "Fatal Server error No screens found" and "xinit no such file or directory (errno 2)" and unable to connect to server..

View 2 Replies View RelatedI started a second X server and I am trying to take a screenshot of the original display from the second X server. This is what I have tried
import -window root -display :0 screenshot.png
If I run this from display :0 then all is fine, but if I run it from display :1, then I get an image that is almost all black (a few icons in the upper right shows up - namely the volume, laptop battery status, and wireless connection status - but that's it).
I just installed Jessie amd64 for the first time. Few problems so far, but Alt-F2 to Alt-F6 no longer switch to another tty - there's just a black screen with a flashing cursor that doesn't respond to keystrokes. I rely on being able to switch between ttys a lot, so this is inconvenient.
I've searched and found a workaround for grub2, but I'm using grub-legacy (and don't want to switch to grub-pc as it's over complicated IMO). Graphics hardware is AMD 780G/SB700 (using firmware in firmware-linux-nonfree).
I has Centos 5.5 with kernel 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5.
centos-release-5-5.el5.centos
Linux centos 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Sep 29 12:50:31 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
My problem is this:
I can login as root in to Gnome and ssh but not in the console In fact I can login with anyuser in to Gnome and ssh but not in the console. By the console I'm referring to tty1-tty6. When the login screen is showed I write the user and password but then a message is quickly(I can�t see it) showed and erased and the login screen is showed again I looked the file /etc/security/access.conf but all the entries are marked as comments. I also looked the file /etc/securetty and this is the content:
console
vc/1
vc/2
vc/3
[code]....
I even can use "su" with root with no problem. The next entries are written in the /var/log/audit/audit.log file everytime I has this error:
type=USER_AUTH msg=audit(1284441198.687:5305): user pid=21795 uid=0 auid=4294967295 msg='PAM: authentication acct="root" : exe="/bin/login" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=tty2 res=success)'
[code]....
I've been having the weirdest problem with some aspect of my operating system: This is a screenshot of Google Chrome 11.0.696.57 running in Linux 2.6.37.6 with Xorg server 1.9.5 with the FGLRX display drivers 8.841 on a Radeon HD 4870. The display drivers, kernel and X server were not upgraded before this started happening. I have also not modified my xorg.conf.
As you can see, the red pixels show up just about anywhere a bitmap is changed. It has been happening in every program and not just the browser. Sometimes they flicker, always appearing at random.As far as I can tell, the Linux TTY (outside of X) is not affected. The fact that this is capturable in a screenshot rather than just appearing as pixels on the screen is what puzzles me. If you have any information as to what might be causing this, and hopefully how to solve it, (or even a theory) please post below.
Other information:
Slackware 13.37
Running Fluxbox 1.3.1
My /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Edit:Switching TTYs (via ctrl-alt-F[1-9]) and back seems to dissipate the effect, at least temporarily.

Finally, how can I use the PS3 wireless controller as my mouse? And after that, set it up for use with the emulators. I found a few links, but not sure which one I should be following:

They all have some similarities, but also some things that are different.
I know what the URL of a webpage is and how to find it, but can't figure out how to do it with the screenshot accessory in Ubuntu 9.10. It is easy to use the tool to capture the image of a desktop, but won't let me do anything with the URL to insert it into anywhere!
View 5 Replies View RelatedI know how to take a screenshot on my Ubuntu, but I want to take many screenshots within a limited time (taking screenshots of a single execution of a program which I can not pause). Is there a program that takes the "PrtScr" keyboard key in charge and just stores every screenshot without asking? The standard Ubuntu tool pops up a dialog to ask where I want to save the file, I would like a tool that doesn't ask and just saves on the Desktop or wherever as 00001.png 00002.png etc.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use a program which makes a large image which I have to scroll to view. The program has no way to save the image, and I have no access to the source to modify it. The only way I have to get the image from the program is by screenshot. My goal is to save the full size image without having to piece together individual screenshots. I'm using this script to try taking a screenshot:
#!/bin/bash
window=$(wmctrl -l | grep "Program$" | awk '{print $1}')
wmctrl -v -i -r $window -e '0,0,0,6030,5828'
wmctrl -i -a $window
import -window $window ~/Desktop/screenshot.png
This uses wmctrl to get the window id ($window) for a window named "Program". It then tries to resize the window to the desired dimensions. It uses imagemagick (import) to save a screenshot.png on the user's Desktop. All of this works except the resize step. I can resize the window using wmctrl -r -e, but sizes greater than the screen size don't work. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and the Gnome Desktop. I run two monitors, but I've tried this with one of them disabled. Is there a way to resize the window larger than my screen to get a huge screenshot?
Part II: I tried using xrandr to set up screen panning, so as to have a bigger desktop than my monitor. xrandr --output LVDS --panning 2600x2500 This command makes the laptop screen pan over a 2600x2500 size desktop, even though it can only show 1440x900 at one time. To turn off the panning, I can use a similar command to set total size and with zeroes for the panning section. This gives me back my original laptop display behavior. xrandr --fb 1440x900 --output LVDS --panning 0x0 This is all done with xrandr, and does not require any Xorg.conf changes (my Ubuntu system doesn't even have an Xorg.conf).
My video card seems to only allow about 6.5 million pixels, even though the maximum dimensions are 8192x8192. That maximum seems to be the maximum for either dimension, but there is a limit to how many pixels can be drawn, which is the width multiplied by the height. Once I did the screen resize, I tried my script again and got a screenshot. The screenshot however is totally scrambled. I'm not sure if it's unable to take a screenshot of an off-screen window or if it is unable to handle the large dimensions of the window. With the panning display, the window should think it is visible, and the window manager should think it is on-screen. So there is a pixel buffer somewhere with those pixels in it, so there should be a way to get a screenshot.
How can I start a program from tty1 console text mode to be executed in tty2 console text mode? Actualy I would like to start a program (chat client cli program) in tty8 automaticaly when linux PC boots.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI wrote a simple command line script which is suppose to take my screenshot every 5 minutes.(using ImageMagick's "import" program)
Here is the script (shottr.sh):
This is working fine if I execute by hand i.e:
The script itself is being executed (I hear a voice saying: "Screenshot") but the actual screenshot is not taken.
Be assured that it is NOT permission issue (I placed a simple "touch" invocation and file was created)
May be if it's run from cron...it doesn't have a "window" so it can't take a screenshot from nowhere? If that is the case, then how can I workaround it?
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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI frequently need to take screenshots of a game (flash-based, running inside a browser), in particular it's statistics screen which is shown when I hold the TAB key. The problem is, when I take a screenshot, either by pressing PrintScreen key or by pressing a custom-defined shortcut, the game responds to this keypress and hides its statistics screen, so the screenshot doesn't contain the information I need.I figured out how to overcome this using a custom application launcher icon; but this requires using the mouse which is rather inconvenient.define a shortcut that wouldn't be processed by the active application? Or maybe there's some screenshot utility that does this out of the box?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOk here's what I'd like to do:
Take a screenshot, or some other way of saving the visual output of a java applet [URL], and saving that as an image, without having to manually do it (open browser go there, and take a screenshot).
I guess this would be most easily done using a script of some sort, but I have no idea how to go about doing this..
I would like to do this, so I can use this image to update my conky every 30 secs or so (got that part figured out ).
I was gathering some screenshots to use in a tutorial on how to do something in Unity. For the most part that went well... however I did find an unfortunate quirk.When I Right-Click any of the items in the Unity Launcher panel, and they bring up the submenu (for example I did the modification to add Pics, Docs etc to my Home Folder in the Launcher) I then cannot do a screenshot using my "PrtSc" key on my netbook. This only happens when the submenus are visible. Unfortunate because I wanted to get a screen shot of the submenus.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been experiencing a weird delay between me pressing the printscreen key and the screenshot dialog appearing. The delay is about one second, and is happening even though gnome-screenshot's delay key is set to zero in gconf-editor. This delay is making it difficult to capture things which disappear quickly, and I'd like to know if there's any way to make the screenshot dialog appear instantly.
