General :: Take A Screenshot With Current Cursor In GNOME?
Apr 25, 2011
When I take a screenshot in Ubuntu 10.04 (Gnome) using application "Take Screenshot" I get a screenshow this a default mouse cursor, but when i take a screenshot, cursor of mouse was another, for instance, cursor of mouse, which happen when window is resizing. How i can do screenshot with current cursor mouse, but not default
I now installed recordmydesktop via ubuntu software center ,and when I record my desktop I have black video with cursor on export. I have installed graphic driver , cairo-dock , google-widgets , compiz And I have now problem when I need to take Screenshot I have a black picture with curosor on export am ubuntu 10.04 user.
Just in case someone can reply a silly question, I've quite forgot the vi/vim command to bring the cursor to the 1st char in the current line. I do remember that for bringing it to EOL is '$'.
Is it possible to change a color of the text cursor for all GUI applications in GNOME? Now it's black but I want it was blue or red. How can I achieve it
I use Jolicloud/Ubuntu with Gnome. I noticed the "Save Screenshot" program launches when hitting "PrintScreen". There is just one problem, I am currently waiting for an old Mac keyboard (and Mighty Mouse) to arrive from eBay. The Mac keyboard DOES NOT have a PrintScr button, is there any way I can use one of the dead key's (eg: F13 etc.) and assign that to the program, or can I use one of the button's on the side of the Mighty Mouse (I would prefer that)
WARNING: Extremely n00bish question lies ahead: When I'm going to be updating my PC from Debian 5.0.5 w/ KDE, can I completely write over it and everything but the data of one folder with Debian 6 w/ GNOME? If I have to take the specific data off the computer, that's fine. I'm just wondering if I can change my GUI when I upgrade the OS.
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
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 installed Gnome 3 on my openSUSE 11.4 install.The cursor goes from white to black like it did in Gnome 2 before I edited etc/sysconfig in Yast.Well I have gotten gnome-tweak-tool and edited sysconfig to use Adwaita and the cursor is still black on firefox white in other areas.
When I go to the appearance preferences in Ubuntu 10.04 w/GNOME and try to select a cursor different from the default, nothing happens, the cursor refuses to change. Logging out and in doesn't work. Over the weeks I've played around with this machine a bit, installing and uninstalling various DEs such as Kubuntu and LXDE; I have a feeling something messed up my cursor config while I was changing stuff, but I don't know what or where. Is there any quick way to troubleshoot why the cursor isn't changing?
I am using Scientific linux 4 cern with the following configuration: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.9-67.EL.cernsmp #1 SMP Wed Nov 21 16:22:33 CET 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I want to change the cursor color from black to green in gedit in GNOME. How can I do this? Chnging fomt color doesnot work.
I use an ancient text editor - Jove - that I maintain and update myself. It has worked fine on Fedora 6, 7 and 8 under gnome-terminal (known to the Jove editor as xterm). I just installed Fedora 12. When moving around a file being edited, the cursor often 'replicates' itself into a series of blocks (or underlines, depending on the cursor type setting) that seem to correspond to tab-stops. I initially thought it was stumbling on TABs, but it does this weirdness on long strings of blanks, as well. Clearing and redrawing the screen cleans things up until the next movement command.
I _intensively_ checked the code for anything that might be sensitive to the new termcap strings that have come with F12, but nothing. I could live with this if the underline cursor blinked so that I could SEE it in text, but alas, there ain't a blinking cursor. Just found out how to get the cursor blinking on another thread. But, I'd _still_ like go get the 'block' to work right. I compared the termcaps used by Jove in LF8 and LF9 and they were identical. Since the "7-block-wide" cursor bug happens in LF9, 10, 11, and 12 but not in LF8, I can confidently conclude that support for termcap/terminfo has been broken as of Fedora 9. And people ask me why I have four computers. (So I can run F8 F9 and F12 and compare their performance!).
I'm using Fedora 14 x86 64-bit, Gnome DE, on a Phenom 9750 computer, with a Radeon XT1900 video card and 8GB RAM. Recently, my cursor (normally a black arrow) suddenly changes into a vertical line of small white dots, about an inch long. It's essentially unusable, unless it happens to roll over a hyperlink, since it's invisible on a white background. Logging off and on has no effect. Rebooting sometimes "fixes" it, sometimes not. It has yet to correct without a reboot.Except for regular updates as noticed, the only change in the system in the past month or so was to add nano as a text editor.
Running 10.04 very nicely, but I have applied a cursor theme - Comixcursor - which appears fine in my Gnome apps, but does not in my KDE apps, i.e. Amarok, and I get the default cursor. Each time I restart my lappy, I have to go into the KDE System Settings to apply it again.
Ubuntu 10.04 - Gnome Termainal - BASH pressing cursor keys in certain users produces garbage. For example:
pressing up arrow produces: ^[[A pressing down arrow produces: ^[[B pressing right arrow produces: ^[[C pressing left arrow produces: ^[[D
Naturally, I'd like my bash history instead of this. For root and my main user I have no problems. I have a few system users (who don't have a standard home directory) and this seems to occur with those users. For example, my amandabackups user has a home directory of /var/lib/amanda.
I 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'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.

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.
i somehow screwed my xserver (I guess it is the xserver). I got the following problem:
1) When i have 2 monitors connected, the cursor stays at the left one even though i select text on the right one.
2)(i plugged the left one out)As soon as i open a window and click on something in the window the window cannot be moved anymore, and the desktop cannot be selected anymore either (though u still can do something inside the window), as soon as you close the window (if you are lucky and there is a "close" button) the desktop can be used again.
This all started when i played a flash game which froze like everything but the game, and i had to restart the computer. I guess it somehow screwed the .conf file or the xserver. I already tried the xorg.conf.backup but it didn't help!
The last time I used linux (long long time ago) I had a nifty little widget the showed what was going on on all the desktops. Is there a way to add or configure this to the current gnome desktop? All I currently get is an outline to tell me if something is there, but I don't get to see what it is. Sorry for such a noob question.Running Lucid netbook on a system 76 starling. Standard Gnome login, not netbook.
I'm using Squeeze, and haven't seen an update in the Debian repo for some time. Seeing as it's due for release soon (September), can we expect some updates in the near future? I had been using Gnome Shell in Ubuntu with much success, including compiling my own. These days, I cannot afford the bandwidth, and have encountered an unknown problem [URL] under Debian Squeeze. Currently, I'm experiencing a very annoying flickering issue using the repo version which I know does not exist anymore in the current gnome development. To have at least one update now before the release date would be nice to see.
I need to figure out how to tackle the full screen issue using GFCE Ultra. Anyone know this? I have checked off the full screen option, but when it goes to full screen, it just adds black space.

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:
[url]
[url]
[url]
[url]
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!
I 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.
Im running netbook remix on a eeepc 1005ha. It is my only OS and Im loving it except for one obnoxious quirk. It randomly cuts text and randomly pastes it. If there is something in the clipboard, it will usually paste that, but just as often it will cut random text and paste that. The pastes occur when the cursor focus jumps back to the location of the cursor on the screen. I dont know a better way to phrase that, but thats what it is doing. Say... I put the cursor over the word "pastes" in the paragraph above... even though Im typing in this paragraph, the focus will "jump" to the cursors physical locale (the word "pastes") and then paste whatever is in the clipboard. If the cursor is outside of the textbox, the page will jump to the bottom.
This behavior occurs across programs and in any place text can be entered. I can find no rhyme or reason for it... it just... happens. Sometimes even when Im away from my computer, so its not like Im hitting some key on accident. I have loved everything about this ubuntu distro, but this issue is just toany obnoxious. Writing psych papers on this thing is going to be near impossible if I dont get this fixed before I go back to school.
