How to take a screenshot on Phosh?
#1
I tried the "usual" tricks like volume up + volume down, volume up + power to take a screenshot on my PinePhone with Manjaro + Phosh, but it doesn't work. I read on this old blog post that it's now possible, but it doesn't explain the procedure. How can I do it?

See this bit of wiki.


I am more used to scrot which does have a delay option.
  • ROCKPro64 v2.1 2GB, 16Gb eMMC for rootfs, SX8200Pro 512GB NVMe for /home, HDMI video & sound, Bluetooth keyboard & mouse. Arch (6.2 kernel, Openbox desktop) for general purpose daily PC.
  • PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition, daily driver, rk2aw & U-boot on SPI, Arch/SXMO & Arch/phosh on eMMC
  • PinePhone BraveHeart now v1.2b 3/32Gb, Tow-boot with Arch/SXMO on eMMC

It does that .. 60/40 with it working more than 60% of the time...I've not looked at logs nor started any troubleshooting yet

See the wiki for an alternative for taking a screenshot (also scaling but it's there) https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Phosh#Screen_Scaling

Same here, does not work at all.

I have rated the "GNOME Screenshot" application as "Not compatible" in my "Which applications are compatible on PinePhone with Manjaro" post here https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=12356

Feel free to add your own app review over there if you happen find a half-decent Screenshot application that works on PinePhone with Manjaro Smile
