Screen capture

How to print screen in linux??

alt-printscr might work, I know it does in GNOME2, it might in KDE.

Im pretty sure (have not used it for a while) that GIMP does this
its in the menus somewhere, if you have it installed, have a poke around

The version of The Gimp that came with RH 8.0 does have this. It can be reached from:

File --> Acquire --> Screen Shot...

Tithefug

There are numerous programs which can make screen shots... But its much more convenient to create videos. For ex. if I want to explain to my friend the algorithm of working with a particular program, I can easyly capture a tutorial for him...
I use Screen VidShot...
It's quite handy tool!

IMHO!

To do it from a terminal:

Code:

---

import -window root screenshot1.png

---

screenshot1.png can be changed to something else... And I think you must have image magick installed to use import.

Hi, is there a screen capture program that will allow you to 'mouse select' (marquee) only a portion of the screen to capture?

Yeah, ksnapshot,a part of "kdegraphics" let's you do that (at least in the 3.4 version it lets you do that, I don't remember about the 3.3.x versions).

Yes, 3.3 version also has ksnapshot.

Code:

---

import -window root screen.png

---

will capture the full screen

Code:

---

import screen.png

---

will allow you to choose area of the screen using mouse
