Copy/Paste images

[Patrick Bouldin]

Hi everyone,

One important thing that really keeps me back from totally converting to qubes is the inability to create documents with screenshots. On a windows pc I can of course do a screen print, then quickly crop the image and paste it right in a document.

This seems extremely difficult in qubes. I do see someone created some image copy/paste between domains here: http://jrruethe.github.io/blog/2015/09/17/screenshots-in-qubes/

Am I missing something basic or will I need to do something like that?

Thanks,
Patrick

[Franz]

I have it muy simple:

echo "digit name of the VM to which send snapshots"

read nameVM

qvm-copy-to-vm $nameVM ~/Pictures/

rm ~/Pictures/*.*

but you can use only the last but one line if you want it even simplier. The other lines are only to speed it up.

Best

Fran

Thank you but I'm pretty new with Linux. Do I add this as a script in dom0? How would I invoke it after a screenshot? Can you please provide full context on how to use this?

ok. you have to create a file called for example snapshot.sh where you write the above. For doing that I use:

vim snapshot.sh

then digit "i"  that allows me to insert the above text

at the end ":x" to save

after that
sh snapshot.sh to execute

good luck

If it works you'll find the pictures in Qubesincoming/Domo fold of the VM you selected

Also please do not top post

Sorry for the top post, I knew better! :)

Ok, I think I am almost there. I am still confused on how the shellscript is invoked. Do I create a shortcut that activates this? Once I have the shell script in dom0, how do I invoke it from a screen print?

Thanks,
Patrick

[Franz]

if it works using

sh snapshot.sh 

in Dom0 terminal

then creating a shortcut is a bit more complicated, the file should be made executable and look at this:
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/30272/how-to-create-shortcut-in-launcher/

but I have not tried to do it.

Once you have created your snapshot.sh file make sure that it is executable by typing "chmod +x snapshot.sh" in the same directory as your snapshot.sh is located, remove the quotations. Once you have taken a screenshot it should be located in ~/Pictures. To execute the shell script you can use either of the following or create a custom launcher:
./snapshot.sh
sh snapshot.sh
bash snapshot.sh

[Nick Darren]

Instead of using this script you can just use `scrot` command from dom0. You need to download it first from qubes-dom0-update --action=install scrot. It's easy to use, refer to `scrot --help` for clue from your dom0 after install. Then you can transfer the image to appvm by using qvm-copy-to-vm or qvm-move-to-vm command.

Another good alternative I found was https://github.com/evadogstar/qvm-screenshot-tool. Easy to use with GUI and transfer screenshot to imgur service too!

Hi, I'm still having trouble with screenshots. Spent a lot of time trying to install Eva's tool. I started here as recommended: https://github.com/evadogstar/qvm-screenshot-tool

I'm just not understanding the directions. When I downloaded qvm-screenshot.sh to my appvm I just moved it to Dom0 and executed via ./qvm-screenshot.sh

Now in the dom0 user folder I see the hidden files:

.screenshot.sh.swp

also have these, not sure if it's some other software I've installed:
.snapshot.sh.swo
.snapshot.sh.swp
.snapshot.sh.swn

I've also installed scrot and can use it manually.

Am I close? Can someone take me over the goal-line? Including a bit more help on setting this up in system tools/keyboard?

Thanks,
Patrick

What happens then?

vim (the texteditor someone tricked you into using earlier) leaves these
if you don't exit it correctly. You can safely delete these files. Until
you learn to use vim properly, maybe try nano instead. (vim is great,
but has a steep learning curve.)

Hi, yes I may have not used vi right, but think I have it now (google is my friend):)

As mentioned earlier, I can't interpret the next steps in Eva's post and had some specific questions.

Thanks,
Patrick

Hello,
What exactly do you see when you execute ./qvm-screensgot.sh at dom0 ?
Is dialog about "Select items" with "Region or Window, Fullscreen" show?

Download it.
Move to dom0
chmod +x qvm-screenshot.sh

Then you can use it :)

I tried to install the screenshot-tool as mentioned in the howto:https://github.com/evadogstar/qvm-screenshot-tool

To summarize:, the requirements in dom0:

• scrot at dom0 (recommended)
  
• zenity at dom0 (needed)
  

I have downloaded scrot and zenity in an AppVM and moved it to dom0.
zenity is already installed in dom0, but when I try to install scrot I get a warning that linImlib2.so is missing.
I downloaded imlib2 (imlib2-1.4.9-1.fc23.x86_64.rpm) and moves it to dom0 but when trying to install it via:

dom0: sudo dnf install ./imlib2-1.4.9-1.fc23.x86_64.rpm

I get the message that libgif.so is missing.

I have therof tried to install scrot in an App-VM to find out which other packages get installed:

[user@untrusted Downloads]$ sudo yum install scrot
Redirecting to '/usr/bin/dnf install scrot' (see 'man yum2dnf')

Last metadata expiration check: 4:28:17 ago on Tue May  9 17:25:34 2017.
Dependencies resolved.
==============================================================================================================================================================
 Package                            Arch                               Version                                      Repository                           Size

 scrot                              x86_64                             0.8-13.fc23                                  fedora                               25 k
(...)

I have thereof downloaded giblib via "yumdownloader giblib" and transferred the file to dom0

But when I try to install giblib I get the message that "nothing provides libImlib2.so.1 (...) needed by giblib (...)"
When I try to install imlib2 I get the message that "nothing provides libgif.so.4"

Question:
How can I resolve this and install libgif.so.4 in dom0?
Which other packages need to be installed in dom0 so that all dependencies for scrot are fulfilled?

regards

- P

[cooloutac]

why not just use dnf in dom0?

Can I simply use dnf in dom0??
I thought (as it is a bad idea to add lots of packages to dom0) I need
to download the packages in an App-VM, transfer it to dom0 via "qvm-run
--pass-io APPVM 'Path/to/file/in/AppVM' > /path/in/dom0/file"

If I try to run "sudo dnf install scrot" in dom0 I get a "No package
scrot available"
(which shouldn't work by design)

According to the documentation
(https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/software-update-dom0/) the better way
should be:

If I try to run "sudo qubes-dom0-update install scrot" I get:
Running command on VM: 'sys-firewall'...
(...)
No package install available.
Error: unable to find a path

What am I missing?

[cooloutac]

or I mean use qubes-dom0-update command https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/software-update-dom0/

not install, just:

qubes-dom0-update will check all signatures for you, manage dependencies
