Linux have virtual terminals, one can switch between them with
chvt 1
, chvt 7
commands. Former is in the text mode, later is in the graphics mode.
I want to copy all the text from first terminal, with some utility from graphics mode.
fbgrab -c 1 ~/image.png
saves an image, but in my case it is a transparent rectangle.
There is no ebuild for fbdump, so I can't check it. And actually I want some paste (as with wgetpaste -s gists
), not a picture.
OS is Sabayon Linux with MATE DE on AMD GPU
I need this because my chrome browser starts to execute some js, and hangs the system (mouse cursor freezes), then there is a message in virtual terminal about crash in chrome plugin. I want to paste that message, but don't know how to do this.
