Taking Screenshots from within YaST
Here’s a quick way of taking ‘screenshots’ from within YaST, which might be useful when documenting configuration steps.
---- # tail -f /var/log/YaST2/y2log | grep -i "ScreenShot" | sed 's/.*screenshot.:[0-9]*\ *\(.*\)/\1/ig' ----
Then dump the screen with: Ctrl ‘d’ Shift ‘d’
Below is an example output (use fixed-width font).
---- YaST2 - lan @ server1 Network Settings +Global Options--Overview--Hostname/DNS--Routing------------------------ |+---------------------------------------------------------------------- ||Name |IP Address|Device|Note ||PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection|DHCP4 |wlan0 | ||Intel Ethernet controller |0.0.0.0 |eth0 | ||Network Bridge |DHCP |br0 | || || || -snip- || |+----------------------------------------------------------------------- |+---------------------------------------------------------------------- ||PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (Not connected) ||MAC : 24:77:03:01:23:45 ||BusID : 0000:03:00.0 || * Device Name: wlan0 || * Started manually || * IP address assigned using DHCP4 || ----
If you need to email a screenshot of YaST to a mailing list, etc, that would be a lot more acceptable than a .png attachment.
