Screenshot of GDM
Hey guys
here goes a dumb question: how can i take a screenshot of the gdm ? i've read articles on using Xnest but I get the feeling that's to get a screenshot of another machine (not the one where you're running the command from) is there any way i could get a screenshot of my gdm on my machine ? thanks in advance. |
I don't know what type of commands you have available in RedHat, but you could always use Gimp. File/Import/Screenshot.
Just noticed you're from A2! I lived there for 10 years. Killer city. |
open gimp ----> File ----> Acquire ---> Screen Shot
|
Oops. Aquire, not Import :)
|
i think he means gdm as in the graphical login manager.
i'd like to know how to do this as well. |
Does Alt+PrintScreen not work? Do that and then paste the result into The Gimp or wherever.
|
Hey thanks to all of you guys.
I tried all that but it didn't work. And, like nexx_au said, i meant a screenshot of the gdm. I'll keep on looking for a solution but if anyone founds out, let me know please! :D thanks! |
if you run gdmconfig I think it shows a small screenshot of each of your installed themes.
the themes are located in /usr/share/gdm/themes/ |
gdmflexiserver --xnest will give you a windowed login for your box... then just acquire through gimp... Should work like a charm...
|
Hey nafortin thanx a lot! That worked just like a charm.
I love Linux :newbie: THanks everyone. |
