LJ Tech Tip on Taking Screenshots:
The method I prefer for creating screenshots under Linux is a little
more direct. Just install the Imagemagick program - under (k)Ubuntu
just do this:
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
Then open a terminal and type:
sleep 3 ; import screenshot.jpg
or for the .png fans:
sleep 3 ; import screenshot.png
Adjust the timing for your particular needs then when the mouse turns
into a cross left-click and hold until the area is selected. Once you
release the mouse the screenshot is taken. If you want to look at the
shot quickly from the command line, simply do this:
display screenshot.png
HTH :)
