Software :: Screen Capture - Do Not Function Normal Any More
Apr 7, 2011
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 just installed ubuntu on my netbook, using a USB flash drive. I'd now like to return it to its normal use as storage so I don't have to carry my external hard drive around all the time. How do I reformat it now that the installation is done? should I keep it as a pendrive in case of problems and just get another flash drive
Hey I'm looking for something to grab a section of the screen ... like to allow me to drag a rectangle around a portion of the screen and when I release, capture only that -- in to the clipboard would be fine or at that point to a image file format which I could save on the file system.
i am fairly new to Ubuntu. i was using it fine for a month, but today, when i booted my computer up, it came up with a black screen instead of the normal purple ubuntu screen. the black screen had white text on it, and asked for my username and password. from there, it was a terminal prompt. i have been google searching for a while, and have tried typing "startx", "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop", "sudo gdm", and i have also tryed uninstalling xorg, and reinstalling, and none of these things wanted to do anything for me.
What is the real difference between system calls and normal function calls. Ultimately function calls too would be passed to kernel for some or the other work.
i have ubuntu 9 10 i have been searching in the internet but i have not found a solution, my problem is that i cant capture the screen with screen shot key (ptr sc) my keyboard has it under the key home, so in windows i have to use the
I'm having problems with the screen capture utility in Fedora 11. Everytime i capture a screenshot, it looks like this:[url]
I've tried turning off Compiz, but that doesn't do anything. I suspect it may have something to do with the kms (I have an Intel 82855/855GM, which has had issues in beta).
I wonder if there is the possibility of getting to press any key and the F6 for example, Fedora starts up a screenshot, equal to application "form screen capture image" in the menu acessories .. The problem is that if I want to do this I have to be opening up the application every time .. and I like to do with was fast, just by clicking F6 or printscreen for example ..
On my Mac, when I press F2, I am able to take a screen shot of a selected area. Is it possible to assign a hot key to do the same thing on my Ubuntu 10.04 PC?
I need to take a screen capture while an application is running. The application is a touch screen calibration utility and alt-Prnt Scrn does not work when the calibration utility is active. Is there another way for me to capture the screen while the utility is active?
system - screen/mouse/keyboard/hard drive all freeze. if I am in the middle of video or audio, last second of audio loops. I get a terminal screen (attached).
Also, If there is a step by step overall troubleshooting guide,I would appreciate its location. This did not freeze under 10.10, but I have changed wifi card (changed driver) and loaded VirtualBox from oracle (not Ubuntu - VB not running during freeze)) - no other changes.
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.
I'm trying to capture my desktop screen and audio , before I used xvidcap but after upgrading my system I can not use it and also recordmydesktop anymore these APPs hanged when I try to use them.Now I try to use recorditnow via ffmpeg recorder interface , it work properly in recording the desktop but it does not record the sound , so I tried to add below options to its command -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0,0 but it just record sound at the beginning and just for 1 second. Also when I try to capture my desktop with ffmpeg directly from command line with below command I face with same problem!!! ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1024X768 -r 30 -i :0.0 -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0,0 ~/out.mpg
I have installed XVidCap Screen Capture. If I record my screen with XVid Cap Screen Capture there is no sound. But if I record with Desktop Recorder there is sound. What is wrong?
I have video capture device "MSI vox USB 2.0", every thing seem to be fine, but none of tv applications show the device, they just show my webcam "/dev/video0"
It's driver is "em28xx" from "v4l2"
I test it with "mythtv, tvtime, xawtv, kdetv, me-tv, v4l2-tool, vlc, mplayer" none of them work detect the device, expect mplayer open a green window with time out message.
The device work fine under windows I test it with vlc-win
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.
I am looking for an screen capture application which auto runs when ubuntu starts up and work without any instructions or clicking capture or anything, = "Some1" ** Turns on the System --> UBUNTU Loads --> the Screen capture Runs--> it takes screen shots with out "Some1"s knowledge// turns off system.... I get home -->> turn on system -->> screen shots r saved.. n um checking em...!!!
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.
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 am trying to create a screen capture program with Xvfb server, ImageMagick and Khtml2PNG. I seem to be having some issues and was hoping someone could help me out. I have everything installed and working on a centos WHM/CPanel system and am able to generate the screen shots and save them to root folder from shell with the following commands.
Xvfb :2 -screen 0 1024x768x24& export DISPLAY=localhost:2.0 khtml2png2 --sw 200 --sh 150 http://www.example.com example.png It works 100% fine when you run it from shell.
I am having a funky issue at login. When I enter my username/password at login with the GUI (I disabled the list of users some time ago) the screen will flicker then return me to the login screen. There is no notification of an error. It doesn't matter if I try the recovery console or safe mode there is the same issue when I try and login with this user. However, I can login with a different user open a console and su to that user that wouldn't login at the GUI.
I just finished installing 10.4 on my Dell Latitude X300, and it will only run in low-graphics mode. I will try to boot like normal, but then a blank screen. I have to boot in Recovery Mode and use the Failsafe graphics option.
