Hi Everyone,
Speaking with a colleague earlier today, I heard "Qubes is great, but
the no screenshots problem makes it a 'hard' no for me".
As a Qubes user and advocate, this stung.
Yeah, it's hard.
Honestly, in my humble opinion, the secure copy and paste keyboard
shortcuts should work with image data as well, not just text data. That
way the screenshot problem is solved -- I can screenshot in one VM, copy
directly from that app (usually Firefox), and paste in another VM at
will.
A solution discussed here some months ago: in dom0 have 2 files:
1.) screenshot.sh
#!/bin/bash
qvm-copy-to-vm $(zenity --entry --title='Send to VM' --text='Destination
VM') "${BASH_ARGV[@]}"
2) and userapp.screenshot.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
NoDisplay=true
Exec=/home/put-your-username-here/screenshot.sh %f
Name=screeenshot.sh
Comment=Sends screenshot directly to a given AppVM
after hitting PrintScr, check "open with" and select screenshot.sh,
(will be memorised for next time). Then type the destination AppVM & its
there. No autocomplete offered, sorry.
When I tried it, "Open with" just has an empty pull-down list. Is there
any additional step to do?
Why not just use the tool suggested by Eva Dogstar, the users own
developed tool, https://github.com/evadogstar/qvm-screenshot-tool, it
works fantastic. Check it out! It solve all of your screenshot
headaches. I would definitely vote to have it baked into the next Qubes
release.
The only 'problem' that I have, maybe Eva can answer, is after using the
tool it pops up a menu asking what you want to do with the screenshot.
If I don't make any selections my logic tells me the screenshot should
not be saved anywhere, as you specifically need to select to keep it in
dom0. But not selecting anything and clicking ok still saves the
screenshot to dom0.
