Boot splash and login screenshot... how? [solved]

#1 Post by rasat »

How to take screenshots of boot splash and login screen? And where does the shot save. Key "PrtScr" supposed to do, but doesn't.

The screenshot of splash and login screens I have made within a KVM/Qemu VM running MX Linux.
Gigabyte Z77M-D3H, Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2 (Quad core), 32GB RAM,
GeForce GTX 770, Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB, Seagate Barracuda 4TB

I am familiar with VirtualBox but not KVM/Qemu. I would not install VirtualBox just for two screenshots. I checked if MX has wiki page or somewhere about KVM, to have an idea if its worthy to install.... none. At How-To-Geek didn't work.

you can use the preview function in mx-boot-options to see the plymouth boot splash.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Thanks dolphin_oracle. For the login I used the second option (script) in this link.

I updated the mx gnome respin screenshot gallery with the new shots.

If you install Polo File Manager from the test repo, one of its features is the ability to boot an ISO in a virtual machine, though not with the resizing features of MX in Virtual Box.
