Description

For those of you who wondered how to take a print-screen of your logon, here the instructions for Ubuntu 12.04LTS :

  1. Make /tmp/shot.sh with the command: echo 'chvt 7; sleep 10; DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/var/run/lightdm/root/$DISPLAY xwd -root' > /tmp/shot.sh

  2. Logout and login to text mode (Ctrl+Alt+F1)

  3. Execute: sudo bash /tmp/shot.sh >/tmp/shot.xwd

  4. Return to GUI mode by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7 (sometimes it is Ctrl+Alt+F8 - if it is your case then modify the fisrt command by replacing chvt 7 with chvt 8)

  5. Use the command: convert /tmp/shot.xwd ~/Desktop/shot.png to convert the /tmp/shot.xwd to ~/Desktop/shot.png (imagemagick is required)

  6. Enjoy! :D

Nice! For some odd reason, that looks a little OEM-like.
