Debian User Forums

I have a Surface Pro 3 on which I have installed Debian (Bookworm), I do use the Linux-surface kernel though as I find it is better suited (IME) as everything just works, although as always ymmv.

Ok, I tested and "It" works both with and without apostrophes (thanks for the grammatical critique :roll: ) I am also assuming the "It" would reference the solution offered by both posters as they were both thanked in the same sentence and with the same "mention", and t...

As @mrmazda said, to disable the timer change your grub entry to I only re-post the solution as the original answer contains apostrophe's which might (untested) change the desired behaviour.

You're welcome, happy to help

Sometimes I find that after removing caches and config files a reboot (or maybe logout - login) is required for the remnants to be discarded, this should result in data being cleared better.

This works for me creating images of 100x100 with starting (top left corner) point of x=300 y=300 with a 2 second delay between shots. Adjust the sleep value for preferred timing. for i in {1..5}; do scrsh3 100 100 300 300;sleep 2; done Obviously you would need to place the scrsh3 script in your $PA...

I tried this with xdotool when researching but it didn't work either.

galluzHalevi I revisited my original screen capture scripts and found they would not work with wayland (no surprise really) and did a little research and found that getting a user defined area of screen captured is not a viable option for wayland (at least not under Gnome) so I went back to my scri...

1) Forced snap/flatpaks
2) Abandoning the social contract

I find it easier to install nfs-common and connect to my NAS (or any nfs-server), but of course I already have that set-up so it makes sense in my situation.

I have a script that I call for screenshots using xwd (with Xfce) but I don't know if that will work with wayland, I will try it out when I get the chance (in the middle of backups at moment) and post back.

Glad you got it working in the end, so all's good

I use a default gnome installation and just press printscreen button (prtscn) which pops up a square which you can drag to the area to capture, files are saved (by default) in /home/<user>/Pictures/Screenshots/

Find below my output for the same command, I seem to have more audio devices than you have so maybe a hardware fault? Or maybe the surface kernel has some magic that is not in the mainline kernel? Or maybe there is some driver/firmware that you can ascertain is missing by using my output? HTH System...

Can I ask why you have buster repository enabled?

Glad you got it sorted

And once you are in your system you can check if you made a mistake with the line you un-commented, I just tested it and it works as expected, at a guess I would say you uncommented the wrong line which caused a syntax error in the file, the line you want to use is in the [Seat:*] section, go back a...

This was asked a while back and the answer may help you

Last time I installed Windows 10 I could refuse to connect to internet and it would eventually offer to create a local account, maybe they fixed that in the latest version though...
