screenshot app for debian/grml?

linus72 · 08-08-2009, 06:29 AM

Mmmm...seems Hag/GNU (grml/debian based) doesn't come with a screenshot app?

well, I have gimp, and imagemagick
can either of those do a screenshot?

What app can I install to do screenshots?
thanks

Scrot maybe?

Just assign a key (or combination of keys) to your window manager to do a

Code:

scrot -cd 5

wait 5 secconds, say cheese and there you have it.

Thanks
Ill try it

Other issue:

autostartx?
I can autostartx in grml, but Hag says no "/usr/X11R6/bin/X" in this grml flavor

usually, using the bootparametr "startx=wm-ng" autostarts x in grml
any ideas?

OK
scrot works!

hag has a great fluxbox!
Dark Mystic fluxbox style

The script to make screen shots with ImageMagic (_jpg_) :

Code:

#! /bin/bash
 import screen.jpg; gwenview screen.jpg;
 
 exit 0;

( Replace 'gwenview' with your favourite viewer.)

It displays a 'cross hair' , to cut out the part, you want to "shoot".
.....

The "Icon" to start it ( Screenshot.desktop ) :

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Comment=
Exec=_jpg_
GenericName=
Icon=camera
MimeType=
Name=Screenshot
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Type=Application

Well, I may try it out for you, when you tell
which set up is used :

Which Linux .... and which version of Fluxbox. ?
.....
.....
But anyway, you can just place the executable
_jpg_ on the Desktop and click it, though it is
preferable to reach it with an 'entry' in a panel
or Menu to have a full screen shot when required.
