I need a bash script that auto captures the screen (every 30 sec) and then realize an archive with those screenshots. The script will allow me to quering by user name and date and time framing and if exists a capture archive, it will display a slideshow that presents the captures of specified time.
View 2 RepliesI've wondered for years how it works and how I can change it. For example, opening a document with vim, or opening a man page, and then exiting out of it will sometimes (depending on the distro) clear the screen and leave your prompt at the very top. other times, it leaves the contents of whatever you had open on-screen and your prompt is at the bottom.

I thought it might have been that I was picking KDE desktop then adding Gnome later in installation, so tried reinstalling default install same problem, tried gnome alone same issue, tried gnome and KDE and same issue. so i put original idea back on KDE and gnome later in install. and im sticking with this until I fix as its the one I want. But if I really have to I will switch back to ubuntu. I have no Linux experience.
if I'm posting to the wrong forum. Be so kind to tell me where to better ask this question, as I'm really not finding the right words to google for.So, I have a shell application (fdb) which is a Flash debugger. I want to run it using bash script, capture it's output and pass it the commands (it can read from STDIN). The reason I want to do so is that Flash Builder (the IDE for Flash development) is plain stupid when it comes to compilation, and it won't allow me to compile any file in the project... so, I found out that I can make Eclipse to run an external tool. This external tool is my *.sh file whichches the compiler, and then it launches the debugger.The Eclipse console can display the compilation results, or errors. When I run the debugger it can even pass the input from Eclipse console to the debugger, however, the output from the debugger isn't shown.

FYI: I used this exact video card on an older mainboard and ran linux with it no problem and all hardware checks out okay when I drop in a HD with XPpro on it, which makes this a linux software problem by my reckoning - video setup most likely.

What Ubuntu Sees:
My screen capture software, shutter and system's default "take screenshot", do not function normal any more. It can only capture the desktop wallpaper, not any other elements on the desktop, nor any other opened windows. It's just like taking an x-ray picture by passing all the other objects/elements/running programs on top of the desktop wallpaper. Any ideas? I am using Fedora 14 64 bit. The screen capture software were working fine, though.

I am rather new to Linux, but I figure that there should be a config file somewhere where I can set "auto hide" to false or something like this.

The sort of add on for Firefox 'download helper' now has a new screen capture thing, in case it won't download the video from a particular site. You click the red button and a purple boundary appears round the video frame. I assume this is the basic function of the thing; it then provides the geometry of the purple frame to the program you've given it to capture the video.
By default the program it uses is 'recordmydesktop'. I've tried using this but get sound from the laptop's internal microphone, not the video. Tried 'pavucontrol' to remedy this but it says (wrongly) that no program is recording, so can't put things right.
So tried using ffmpeg: [URL]
Assume the stuff in curly brackets is what download helper supplies. Sometimes works perfectly but with B.BC. i-player only get the top left hand corner of the video and it is stretched somewhat horizontally.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking for an screen capture application which auto runs when ubuntu starts up and work without any instructions or clicking capture or anything,

On my Windoze machine, I use Replay Media Catcher 4 which runs silently in the background and captures any videos (FLV, AVI, MPG, WMV, etc) on any websites that I happen to go to, and saves them to a folder on my hard drive. Right now, if I want to save a video that I'm wathing from Ubuntu, I have to go to /temp, guess which file it is, and copy it after it downloads fully but before it finishes playing, otherwise Firefox deletes it from /temp right away. This is a pain.
Yes, there are screen motion capture utilities in the Ubuntu Software Center, but they're just screen scrapers that result in low quality copies without any audio. I want something that will actually capture the video stream and save it as a file. Even if it doesn't save all videos automatically like RMC4, and I have to right click on the video to Save As, that would be better than copying it from /temp at the precise exact moment.
As the title says, I'm looking for a command to resize on the fly as I capture. My desktop's 1680x1050, but I want to shrink down to say 1280x720.. or other.
So far my command is code...
I look and look and it doesn't tell its name and whom made it so one can go there and install it on Firefox or whatever.
Have tested many of the addons for FF but none is as good as the one in Debian Elive 2.0 the unstable Elive don't have it. Ubuntu doesn't either.
Searched Debian and Elive sites and used google but fail to find it.
Could it be Shutter program that doesn't advertise itself?
Shutter is supposed to be a good screen grabber.
This screen grabber is activated by pushing the PrtScr button and not by clicking a symbol as the others are. So maybe it is built into Elive itself but not mentioned anywhere?
I want to use it on Elive 1.9 Zeitgeist.
