Screeny - screen capture utility
Maybe gettext is not installed properly? The gettext.sh script should be in $PATH and eval_gettext is a function in that script. Just check your gettext package and maybe renew it from the lucid repos (Lazy is based on Lupu, yeah?)RSH wrote:Screeny is not working in LazY Puppy.
How can this be fixed?
If you have at least gtkdialog-0.8 it will work if the executable "gtkdialog" is in $PATH. This can be a symlink, often it's labelled "gtkdialog4". I could put in some gymnastics that find the correct exec but it has been around long enough now that distro maintainers should be aware. I believe wary/racy/precise/dpup all have similar symlinks and so it works fine there.

Thanks for you quick reply.
Yes, LazY is based on Lucid 528-4.
Lucid 528-4 dosn't have the gettext.sh also ---> only a binary "gettext" in /usr/bin ---> as is in LazY.
Downloading and installing gettext_0.17 from the lucid repo gives no success.
Changing
to
in line 183 inside the screeny script doesn't give any success (in lucid 528-4 gtkdialog is a symlink to gtkdialog3, gtkdialog4 is already installed in LazY)
Maybe the gtkdialog error is just a result of the missing gettext.sh script?
Any OS from where i can grab this script?

Hi 01micko.
Thanks for the script. Unfortunately no success. Only the error messages have changed.
BTW: 0.6 seems to work.

Yes, that works.
Thanks a lot for the help.
Seems like i had to download and install gettext_base_0.17 instead of gettext_0.17 from the lucid repo.

Screeny Question
Does the Screeny work by pressing Print Screen button on keyboard?
Re: Screeny Question
See here and try it.. should work ok, put that code in the bottom of /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal (replace if it has an entry for mtpaint) and restart jwm. It is default in the new slacko (when released).mistfire wrote:Does the Screeny work by pressing Print Screen button on keyboard?

screeny in dpup-Exprimo
Hi Mick !
screeny works OOTB in dpup-Exprimo as xwd is already present in it.;
have just installed screeny-0.7-noarch.pet + screeny-0.7-NLS.pet;
have used RSH forum member's Edit-mo-rtc-0.1.pet for po to mo translation (see Localization project screeny 's thread) ==> many thanks to RSH
Cheers, Charlie

I installed screeny and xwd in the Wary 5.1.1-based Solidpup511B_Lite-beta3.1
From the terminal I get an error message similar to what RSH reported:
Solidpup already comes with gtkdialog 0.8.2.
I had to install a newer gettext for it to work. Attached is my compiled gettext for wary.
Thanks, micko..
From the terminal I get an error message similar to what RSH reported:
Code: Select all
/usr/sbin/screeny: line 9: gettext.sh: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/screeny: line 182: eval_gettext: command not found
** ERROR **: gtkdialog: Error in line 16, near token '</label>': syntax error

Thanks, micko..

There's no doubt you are a better coder than me mick, but I noticed that the yaf-splash wasn't saying anything when I captured the fullscreen with a 10 second delay. I examined your script and in line 204 it says:
(edited)
I guess gettext couldn't process that properly, so I changed it to:
Now the yaf-splash will display the text during the wait time.

Code: Select all
"$(gettext"Waiting ...")"

Screeny not running if Netpbm installed
Hi,
running screeny on dpup-exprimo 5X3.6.2
it runs OK
till i installed
netpbm_10.0-12.2+b1_i386.deb and
libnetpbm10_10.0-12.2+b1_i386.deb
i got the following console report:
Unsinstalling netpbm fixes that.
so might it be that some netpbms binaries were not compatible?
Cheers, Charlie

Hi,
I hope, it's not too late for feedback .
I often used v0.8 during the last days in Slacko 5.4 and I really like it .
The only annoying part for me was capture$$ which adds a (randomly?) process id. Changed it to capture${tmp-`date`} in the script at line #178, which adds the date and time. This gives me a better order.
Thumbs up ,
Rolf

Ok done
Screeny is my snapshot tool in most of my Puppies excepted when screeny does not work (Kinda Puppy )
Here below, screeny snaphot. it would be kind of you trying easyshot by Argolance, because it does not work for me, and i woudn't hurt him on the December 24th
Happy Christmas

Re: Xenialpup 2016 I installed a Screeny 0.8
I got that too in Xenialpup, but only when certain programs were open. Interesting to know that an older version works ok.Pelo wrote:screeny is garbled in our last Xenialpup 2016 I installed a Screeny 0.8 from my toolcase, and pictures are no more 'distordues'
