Fedora 2 screen capture issue

adamk · 11-08-2004, 11:57 PM

I'm trying to view a FC2-saved screen capture on a Windows XP box, but running into issues. For the most part I cannot view the image at all, but if I save it as a .bmp file, I can see a distorted image.
I've tried the following utils;
- prt screen button
- import
- XWD
- XV
And have attempted to save as;
- .bmp
- .png
- .jpg - .jpeg
- .gif
- .tiff
No luck thus far.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've done some screenshots using "ksnapshot" from KDE and it worked fine...

Maybe it's worth to try. ksnapshot should be in the grapics menu, or just type it in the shell...

I just tried ksnapshot, found it in the graphics menu like you said.
After saving the file, I can view it fine on the Fedora box, but when I try to view it via Windows XP, get messages about the format being wrong etc.

probably because the picture is png, and windows doesn´t support this kind of format.
It´s not a screen capture issue, it is a windows issue.
I don´t know, you should convert it somehow.
