View 3 RepliesI 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?

Code:
* * * * * /usr/bin/scrot ~/screenshots/screen\%G-\%T.png > ~/log.txt
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 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.

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.
Am running Ubuntu NBR as the sole OS on my Dell Mini 9. Switched over in March to 9.10 NBR. Everything worked fine.Upgraded to 10.04 when it was released. It's awesome EXCEPT for this busy cursor thing.As soon as I log in, all the time my cursor is the spinning wheel of busyness.... It works just as a normal cursor would - my computer also does not seem to be slower due to any operations.If I open an application, the cursor will behave as usual within the window but if I more my cursor to the title bar or switch out of the application, the "busy cursor" resumes.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
System: Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.
Firefox: 4.0.1
what is the theme on the GNOME3 website homepage?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to create a script with the command
sleep 3; xwd -root | xwdtopnm | pnmtopng > capture.png
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)
#!/bin/bash
cd /home
if[ -f capture.png ]

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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...)
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.
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.
install imagemagick python, and pygtk.
Code:
sudo apt-get install imagemagick python pygtk
Now save the following script somewhere as imgclip.py. This is a simple python script which takes an image file and puts it in the gnome-clipboard.
Code:
#! /usr/bin/python
import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')

I have a Windows 7 installation with a boot partition on the RAID. I also want to have a dual boot with openSUSE 11.2 but I don't know how to set correctly my partitions. I have some unallocated space next to the Windows C: partition. When I try to install openSUSE it makes a suggestion to create some partitions that i don't need and don't want, and even doesn't mount them. It also creates a / 80GB, /boot 36MB, swap 2GB and /home 20GB partitions, so I am in lack of free space.
I don't know how to create screenshots during installation. Maybe I'll try to reinstall later and pick some screens in english, because my system language is bulgarian.
I know other threads have raised similar issues to mine but I haven't been able to find in them a solution to my problem...
My laptop cannot complete its Ubuntu One sync - the syncdaemon never stops running at 100%. After a few hours, I give up and kill it off.
It writes large amounts to .cache/ubuntuone/log/syncdaemon.log for a while but then stops writing anything, even though it continues running at 100%.
Whilst it is working so hard (doing nothing?), the file manager is virtually unusable.
The problem started when I (a) installed Magicicada and (b) added another 700Mb folder to my synced folders.
My desktop PC doesn't have this problem. They are both very similar Ubuntu installations except it has a conventional hard disk whereas the problem laptop has SSD.
The previous writer gave instructions for editing fstab. He said to enter something like the following line in fstab:
/dev/hdb1 /media/harddrive ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro,users,user_xattr,user 0 0
My partition is: /dev/sda7.
I created a folder in media: /media/8g
The file system is: ext2 (Do I need the "defults" instruction? What does this do?)
errors=remount-ro (I think I understand this)
[Code]....
He also said, after this was all done, to enter the command: sudo mount /media/[my new partition]
Since it's already mounted? What does this command accomplish?
I've recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 (dual boot with Windows 7) and whilst the Live CD was a breeze, after installation, Ubuntu is taking close to 20 minutes sometimes to load.
I've dual booted before with 9.04 on other machines and haven't had a single problem
I have ubuntu install on a 500 gb drive. It says i have 409 gb free. I've been able to account for 40 gb, but when I try to check the folder proc, it lists 128 tb. How much space is this folder actually taking up?
