      Hello anticapitalista,

      Yes, I named that screenshot screenstest – the result is the same (nothing saved) regardless of name.

      It shows what the screenshot is supposed to look like, but do not save it – then the error message show.

      I cannot find any scr in the system – (there is a src listed under usr).

      Problem to me seems to be where you are trying to save your screen shots.
      I made the same mistake as a virgin with this distro till I figured it out.
      Easy way out for me is to

      mkdir Screeny

      Then save my screenshots in my screeny folder instead of scr.

      harry@biker:~
      $ cd Screeny
      harry@biker:~/Screeny
      $ ls
      screenshot.jpg
      

      Anyways. That is my take on this thread.

        I will try your suggestion as well, rokytnji, when I get a bit more time… (Screenshot did work well in February, though.)

          Hello rokytnji,
          Something is probably missing in your suggestion, it doesn’t accept the last command:

          svenskelin@antix1:~
          $ mkdir Screeny
          svenskelin@antix1:~
          $ cd Screeny
          svenskelin@antix1:~/Screeny
          $ ls
          svenskelin@antix1:~/Screeny
          $ screenshot.jpg
          bash: screenshot.jpg: kommandot finns inte
          svenskelin@antix1:~/Screeny
          $ ls screenshot.jpg
          ls: kan inte komma åt ‘screenshot.jpg’: Filen eller katalogen finns inte
          svenskelin@antix1:~/Screeny
          $

          kan inte komma åt = cannot reach
          Filen eller katalogen finns inte = the file or catalog does not exist

              Hello rokytjnji,
              Maybe it is time to give up, and simply use ScreenGrab – as long as that program works 🙂

              Interesting anyhow is that even when folder ‘Screeny’ is chosen, ‘scr’ is mentioned in the terminal message:
              svenskelin@antix1:~
              $ antixscreenshot.sh
              mv: kan inte ta status på ‘/home/svenskelin/scr/screenstest-thumb.jpg’: Filen eller katalogen finns inte
              mv: kan inte ta status på ‘/home/svenskelin/scr/screenstest.jpg’: Filen eller katalogen finns inte
              mv: kan inte ta status på ‘/home/svenskelin/scr/screenstest-thumb.jpg’: Filen eller katalogen finns inte
              svenskelin@antix1:~
              $
              Here are three screenshots, courtesy of ScreenGrab: – Have a nice weekend!

                Alrighty Then. In all my years running AntiX. I think but can’t remember for sure. This is the 1st antixscreenshot.sh thread I ever saw.

                harry@biker:~
                $ locate screenshot.sh
                /usr/local/bin/antixscreenshot.sh
                <snip>
                
                $ locate screenshot
                <snip>
                /home/harry/Screeny/screenshot.jpg
                /usr/bin/idevicescreenshot
                /usr/local/bin/antixscreenshot.sh
                <snip>
                

                Glad screengrab fit’s the bill for ya. What ever works and makes a user comfy cozy is just okey dokey as far as I am concerned. 😀
                I used to use nitrogen back in AntiX in the early days. It made me comfy cozy.

                  Since scr is mentioned a bunch . I never thought about it. I saved a screenshot there in the early days. Like you I went. ” Where did it go? ”

                  Anyways. I found this link that explains /tmp and /scr . Take it with a grain of salt however. I looked just now for a scr folder . I sure can’t locate it with the find command and locate fills terminal till it is overfull with readouts.
