Openbox Print Screen keybind Won't work

In .config/openbox/rc.xml i've got:
<!-- Screenshot -->
<keybind key="Print">
<action name="Execute">
<command>scrot -q 100 -e 'mv $f ~/Screenshots/'</command>
</action>
</keybind>
Nothing happens when i press the Print Screen key.I checked with Xev and X detects the print screen key as "Print", why is it not working? How can i make it work?

It works for me, it just uses the default filename if i don't specify one.
The command from the man page is
scrot '%Y-%m-%d_$wx$h.png' -e 'mv $f ~/shots/'
my command is
scrot -q 100 -e 'mv $f ~/Screenshots/'
It is the command from the man page minus the filename part.
It seems I don't have to specify file name, the command works perfectly fine on my end, dunno why it fails for you :I (perhaps you don't have ~/Screenshots/ ?)
I can try changing the command though, nothing to lose i guess. I'll just make it execute something i know to work, like terminator...
Yes, i changed the keybind to "W-w" from "Print" and it opens terminator, but if it's set to "Print" nothing will happen.

  • My print screen function won't work on my iPhone 4S anymore

    My print screen function (power and home button being pressed at the same time) has stopped working on my iPhone 4S.  Have I accidentally turned something off? Is anyone else having this problem? 

    Well, thanks to a co-worker that was having the same problem on her iPhone 4 and new iPad, we figured out the problem. It is the Good for Enterprise app we have running on our devices for our business' email. Due to our business' policy on the phone, the screenshot is disabled as long as the policy is in effect on the phone. Sure wish they would've told us. Hopefully, this will help anybody else who's having the same problem.

  • Screen shot won't work on iPhone 5s

  • Photoshop Print Screen/Paste colors not working any more

    System. Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with Adobe CS4
    One thing I do all the time is this:
    Have something like Windows Internet Explorer open on a web page.
    I want a screen shot of Windows IE. So I press Ctrl-Alt-Print Screen.
    Then I open Adobe Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2) and go File/New and accept all the defaults.
    Then I press Ctrl-V to paste in the screen capture.
    Pretty standard stuff and it used to work fine. But recently it stopped working. Now when I paste, the colors displayed in Photoshop for the screen capture are all off. However if I save the file as a GIF or something, and open the GIF outside of photoshop, it's all good.
    I've tried all sorts of things to fix this. Nothing seems to work.
    Anyone know what is really going on here? This seems to have happened after performing some Windows updates.

    So how do I set up a "good custom monitor profile"?
    This is why people calibrate and profile their monitors. If you had a calibrator this wouldn't be a problem (and they're not that expensive).
    What you need is a profile that accurately describes the behavior of your particular monitor. Chances are the Dell profile does that better than sRGB, and a custom profile from a calibrator would be even better. Then Photoshop, which is color managed, will use that profile to display the image - but Internet Explorer, which is not (or not fully) color managed, will not use the profile.
    So there will be a difference between the two right there, and Photoshop will be right, and IE wrong.
    The way this works is similar to any other profile conversion, like when you convert a document from, say, Adobe RGB to sRGB. Photoshop converts from the document profile to the monitor profile, on the fly, as it displays the image. This way it compensates for the peculiarities of your monitor and what you see is what the file "really" looks like.
    So you can see what happens if your document profile is sRGB, and your monitor profile is sRGB: nothing happens. No profile conversion, no color management. This way Photoshop behaves exactly as Internet Explorer does. Everything you see on-screen, color managed or not color managed, will match. But it won't be right. One way to simulate this (with a good monitor profile) is to proof to Monitor RGB.
    As for the screenshot: when you paste that into a new document, the RGB numbers will refer to the monitor profile, not the document profile. This is why you assign the monitor profile to make it look like the original. Then you convert that to sRGB (or Adobe RGB etc) to bring it into a standard color space.

  • Print Screen Function Doesn't Work

    I just purchased a new 15.4" Pavilion laptop (DV5-1235dx) and cannot get the Print Screen function to work.  I've tried everything.  One source tells me to hit ALT and PRTSC at the same time.  Another HP help suggestion says to hit the FN and PRTSC keys.  I get no copy/paste function whatsoever.  I also tried the shift key and PRTSC and it was no dice on that either.  On my laptop...the PRTSC and INSERT key share the same key. 
    A routine function like this should not be this difficult.
    Anybody out there got a suggestion or two about what to try. HP Support has been, frankly, awful.

    Below find two possible answers to your issue on Print Screen.  I hope one or both of these help.
    1. Print Screen
    2. Snip
    Print Screen:
    Which keys one uses to get a screen print does depend on the OS (eg. Vista or Windows 7) and the keyboard hardware.
    Example:  HDX 18T requires a simple keystroke (PrtScn)  for the Active Window and Alt - PrtScn for the Entire Window.
    In the Help file for same is noted the following.  See Below.
    It is somewhat rude that it's not the same for everyone - it is not unknown to be the case.
    Open your help files and look up "print screen" - ask if you need assistance to get to "Help".
    Below find a link to the manuals that I believe are for your laptop / Notebook.  Your answser may be there if you cannot find it on your system's own help files.
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/D​ocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&lang=en​...
    Help file from an HDX 18T:
    Snip:
    Windows 7 has a "snip" command that one can use to grab any bit of the screen and make it into a .png file.  It's quick, easy, and fast.  Additionally, simple annotations can be added with a "pen" of different colors (circles, and such) to mark the picture as desired.  Brilliant!.  Vista may have this command as well.
    Print the .png file if you need it on paper, embed it in Word, email, whatever...
    Help file on Snip (shown as a "snip png file):
    Good Luck!

    Hello redheadjennieo,
    I'm not sure Apple is going to write drivers for a Windows Operating System, so we may have to rely on the generic drivers.
    What model pavilion do you have?
    What operating system?
    Does the monitor say anything on the screen when it's connected to the computer and you turn it? (e.g. signal out of range, no input, etc)

  • My lock screen button won't work how can I fix this?

    My lock button won't work, every time I click it it won't lock my screen unless I press the button hard enough and or in a weird gesture, how can I fix this where I don't need to struggle locking it?

    Stating the obvious,
    Can you Reset it?
    Have you checked if the Hold switched is not in locked position? (should not see the red mark)

  • Blank (white) screen, iPod won't work

    I've had my iPod video for a few months now. I went to start my computer this morning and it wouldn't start. I tried time and time again and it only started once I disconnected my iPod from my computer. After I did that, I noticed that the screen of my iPod was blank, or rather completely white. Now no matter what I do to my iPod it won't work. Does anyone have any idea why this may be happening? Please let me know if you do and thanks in advance.
    ~Diana

    How did you fix it? My daughter's ipod nano is the same way. when you turn it on, the screen is just light, (I haven't checked to see if it plays) Thanks for any help

  • Screen Sharing won't work.

    Sorry I pirated someone elses thread so I will start my own this time.
    I still can't get this to work, there are no DOS or other attack blocks that i have been able to find, we have tried every combination of settings that we can think of,
    IChat will connect, when we are both on line but not in a conference, display the "starting Screen Sharing" banner across the screen, audio starts but after a couple of seconds it disconnects.____________
    Defcom and I tried to get screen sharing working with no success, when we were connected to each other in a video chat, it failed with the usual notification, but announced itself as a "Audio Chat"
    when we were both Online but not in a conference, the banner came across the screen, the audio was working, but the connection died almost immediately,
    have been trying to get this to work for a month now with no success, any Ideas?

  • Ichat Screen Sharing Won't Work

    Can't seem to find any posts that are helpful with the problem. Was using Screen Sharing with my Inlaws the other night to help them, but now it won't let them share their screen with me. I can share my screen with them but not the otherway around. Has anyone run into this same problem and successfully resolved it?

    I spent time to day working on it. I had a G4 computer at work, migrated to a used Mac Pro with snow leopard and I could not get audio, chat or screen sharing to work to my home computer which I just upgraded to snow leopard. Text worked fine.
    This tells me that the computer changed and also the OS. It does not tell me what the G4 was running before hand.
    As there were changes in the Firewall from Tiger (10.4.x) to Leopard (10.5.x) and also to a somewhat lesser extent from Leopard to Snow (10.6.x) I would tend to look to the Firewall on the Mac.
    Check that in the Advanced Button Stealth is not Enabled and that Signed Apps are Allowed. (10.6.x wording)
    I check the forums and tried different things and have it so I can connect from home to the old office computer and from the old computer home.
    Umm, from a unknown computer to the aforementioned G4 with no insight to OS or iChat versions or settings.
    The new one still has a problem or two but I am getting closer.
    If getting closer is Audio Only or Video Chats then you are making progress.
    I have not changed any ports since upgrading and found a couple of simple things unchecked or checked that have cause my problems.
    It would be helpful to know what you changed and where.
    For instance if you set up the Firewall in Snow Leopard (Allow Signed Apps) or in Leopard (Allow Specific Apps or Allow All).
    Talking of Ports.
    If the Router at work was or is using Port Forwarding to open the ports then if the IP of the G4 has not changed it may be the only machine there that Can Video or Audio chat (Port Forwarding often requires you point the ports to be opened to One IP/Computer)
    As the Screen Sharing uses a Random port the Port Forwarding can not be set up for this.

  • 10.4.8- dimmed screen & wireless won't work

    I downloaded the latest Mac update 10.4.8 and ever since my screen looks dim or darker. Not as bright and vibrant as it used to. I have read other posts of it looking blueish. I bet this is the same thing others are describing.
    In addition, my wireless mouse and keyboard quit working. Anyone heard of any easy way to fix this or do should I wait for an update? (I am new to Macs.)
    I have an iMac. Thanks for any suggestions.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1.8GHzPowerPC G5 512MB DDR SDRAM

    sorry your going through this as a new mac user. I've been using mac's now for about 20 years and 10.4.8 is the first really bad and IMHO defective update they've ever released. Just sit tight as Apple is great at addressing these issues and with all the posts here I'm sure they're working to resolve the problems.
    As for the wireless, my problem was fixed by clicking on "Use Interference Robustness" in the drag down window, upper right hand corner where the 5 bars are to show airport signal strength.
    Also search for info on 'preferred networks' here. That modification in network preferences helps as well.
    As for the darker screen. Can't help you with that one.

  • Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.4 - Printing in color won't work

    Hello,
    So what I've done so far:
    Checked the printer's settings
    Checked the Color management features of Adobe Acrobat and made sure they are set to color. 
    Every setting is set to color that I could find.
    Adobe Acrobat Professional is not printing in color, other Windows applications are. I checked the printer's default options as well as prior to printing, the "current" settings.  The PDF has color.  Any ideas why the pdf won't print in color?
    Thanks for all and any replies.

  • Ichat Share Screen - video won't work but i can here sound

    hi .. i have a problem with ichat screen sharing . it happens when Im trying to share my friends screen for controlling is mac. so i ask to share is screen and he accepted. and now the only thing that works is the sound , i can here him talking but i cant see his desktop.
    what am i doing wrong ?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    iChat Screen Sharing Connects similarly to an Video or Audio Only chat.
    As you have found out it includes a Audio Only chat along side the Screen "transfer"
    iChat uses one port to send the Visible Invite on port 5678 using the UDP Protocol
    Video or Audio Only chats then move to one port from 16393-16402 (Usually the last one) to Make the connection.
    Screen Sharing uses a Random Port for a VNC connection Along side.
    This can mean if either end is using Port Forwarding to open Ports the Screen Sharing picture bit cannot get through.
    This would normally mean the chat fails as both parts make up the connection.
    Move to using UPnP if your routing devices (both ends) has it.
    iChat 4 and 5 are the only versions that can Screen Share.
    The Screen Share is "Created" by a Software "camera" within iChat.
    Does the Buddy have the option in iChat's Video Menu > "Camera Enabled" ticked (On) ?
    Selecting this toggles the tick On or Off and therefore the Camera On or Off.
    There is also the possibility that the Software camera is not "Active" or something is wrong with it in his iChat.
    There are ways of starting iChat using Terminal that can look at that.
    You are getting the message in big white letters that Screen Sharing is starting ?
    But you are saying it does not resolve in to his Screen.
    Do you have his screen as a small window bottom Left ?
    Normally you can change between the two once the Connection is active, however iChat also remembers where windows were the last time you used them and there is a vague possibility that you previously had a screen share going On when you closed/Quit iChat with your Screen as the "front" one.
