Ubuntu – Take screenshot of terminal

command linegnomegnome-terminalgraphicsproductivity

I'm Using Gnome2.

I have on My first workspace two terminals open (gnome-terminal).

I want a screenshot of the whole terminal1 window.

I don't want set up the bounding box of the screenshot with my mouse, or pointing with it that window.

How I can do that from the console on terminal2 ?

You can also use the gnome-panel-screenshot command in a terminal (of course, a different one), by dropping the --window (or -w) parameter, which will allow you to grab a window instead of the entire screen.

The command should look like:

gnome-panel-screenshot --window --delay=10

or

gnome-panel-screenshot -w -d 10

Both the --delay=10 and the -d 10 parameters will give you 10 seconds in order to choose the appropriate window of which you wish a screenshot. Change this value in order to adjust it to your needs.

If you wish a screenshot of the current terminal window simply drop the gnome-panel-screenshot -window or gnome-panel-screenshot -w without any other parameters, for the whole screen drop no parameters at all.

For a guided screenshot grabbing simply drop the gnome-panel-screenshot -i command in a terminal which will produce this window:

gnome-panel-screenshot GUI

BTW: You don't need to drop this last one in a terminal, simply hit the AltF2 keys and enter it in the "Run application" dialog window. After which you can choose whatever options that better fits your needs for screen-shooting.

Good luck!
