  1. I just found out that the classic 'scrot' screenshot tool does not work on Ubuntu anymore. I should have thought about this, but since the Ubuntu desktop session is Wayland for the display manager now, 'scrot' won't work.

    Well, 'scrot' does technically work. Gives no errors, but just produces an image that is all black.

    Used the built in screenshot tool instead to get this image.

    Makes sense, but it is little things like this that you don't necessarily think of when technologies change.

  5. Dropped my longtime favourite scrot-tool (linux) #shutter today. 🖕

    But luckily there is no shortage of alternatives.

    For the time being "scrot -s" will do the job for me. (I use selective scrots most of the time.)

    And for the fancy stuff with all bells and whistles there is of course always #flameshot at hand.

    Gentoo will probably be home for the forseeable future :)

    Beautiful!! Congrats! :D

    > #wifi working, graphics seem to work, xrandr down to 1368x768 on this tiny screen

    Still a totally usable resolution. ;)

    > #scrot for screenshots

    Yes! See if you can find i3-scrot somewhere. It's a little easier to use. Holler if you can't find it.

    > Issues still to address:

    > Where do I configure keeping the set wallpaper and screen resolution size?

    Put stuff in ~/.Xsession.
    For wallpaper, you can use feh or nitrogen, or just something like Xbackground??? I'm not running X11 on here, so I'm having to go on memory.
    Xrandr will write a file that you can source like a shell script, IIRC

    > Can't seem to figure out sleep. Closing the laptop lid does nothing.

    man zzz or man apm. Search the web for 'suspend when closing lid "NetBSD"'

    > A battery icon or some type of notifier would be nice.

    Gkrellm??

    > Using Firefox Nightly and sometimes dialogue boxes extend passed the edges of the screen.

    Try alt-drag or super/meta-drag inside a window to see if you can grab and move it past the screen edges. Otherwise consult the WM docs.

  31. Annoyances fixed (1)

    Since a long time I was annoyed about the blurred screenshots on my Linux computer. I like Flameshot. It allows to make a screenshot and then draw circles or squares or insert some text, use a marker. But just like with the PrintScreen button on the keyboard it gives blurred screenshots.

    <inserting blurred screenshot made with Flameshot>

    A few days ago I found enlightenment with the good old (old school) scrot command line tool, which gives no such blurring.

    I already had a script for scrot made a long time ago but didn’t use it very often :

    #!/bin/sh/usr/bin/scrot -d 5 -e 'mv $f ~/Pictures'

    <inserting screenshot made with scrot>

    See the shiny difference ?

    Drawback is that I need to crop the result manually but since it is only for uploading to Mastodon, which I don’t do very often, this is OK for now.

    Years ago I used Shutter to screengrab but the development of that was stalled (Cause sometimes there’s for example GKT3 -> GTK4 or Python2 -> Python3 migrations needed for a programmer and that can take a lot of time. I think this was the case with Shutter too) and I stopped using it. It is back though. Maybe I’ll try that again too.
