Shameless Screenshots (very large image files.. NOT for dial-up)

no, I want to take a screenshot of my actual terminal.

Well, I assume you must have cropped your plast terminal images from a full screen shot then.  ksnapshot will grab a single window.  Just check the box "Only grab the window containing the pointer" box.

umm... I mean the actual terminal... without a GUI... on my server.

Ahh, I gotcha.  Yes, GPM works great for this.  RedHat installed the GPM service by default.  If you have a mouse attached to your server you can copy and paste your console screen very easily.  First press "ALT+F2" to go to your second console and start "vim" and press "i".  Then switch back to virtual terminal 1 by pressing "ALT+F1".  Select the entire screen with your mouse, then press "ALT+F2" and click the middle mouse button (or right mouse button).  See "man gpm" for more info.

does the stuff have to be in vi (or a program)??

It can be in any program.  Or you can send it straight to a file by instead of starting vim type "cat > /tmp/screenshot.txt" in virtual terminal 2.  After you paste your text in virtual terminal 2 just press "CTRL+D" and your text screen capture will reside in "/tmp/screenshot.txt".

Here's my background for you XP lovers. By the way Chooco, you have a whole hell of a lot of icons on your desktop. As you can see I prefer a cleaner look.

Ooops, I think I just made the mistake of entering this thread. As you have propably already figured out, I'm on dial-up       . I like your screenshots though and when given the chance I'll post some of my own desktop as well

Why not just link them and not be a barsted for fucking gods fucking sake. With this much traffic you will upset XP  

Talking XP... Its fucking shit... DONT USE IT!!!

[Calum]

fair comment, but some people need to scratch that itch and i think that one "huge images" thread is alright in a forum this size...

also, re: XP, then why are you putting yourself through the torture? i hope you are going to write a proper review of XP when yr month runs out btw! looking forward to it!

As you can see Micro$0ft Winderz XP Has:

Better uptime:


Uses less memory:

My system has only 192mb of ram the rest of the free memory is swap... Uses about 128mb of ram. Oh look svchost.exe is using 20mb, Thats the equiv of xinetd in unix. I will see how much that uses.

Doesnt Let Microsoft take control:

This is apuling this is. Why the fuck do thay get a login on my own fucking system!!!
