{{i18n|Taking a Screenshot}}<br />
<br />
== import ==<br />
<br />
An easy way to take a screenshot of your curent system is using the import command:<br />
import -window root screenshot.jpg<br />
<br />
import is part of the imagemagick package.<br />
<br />
In case you only want to grab a single window you can use the xwininfo tool to find out it's id. Just run the following command and click into the window you want to take a screenshot of.<br />
import -window `xwininfo |grep 'Window id:' |cut -d" " -f4` screenshot.jpg<br />
<br />
If you run twinview or dualhead, simply take the screenshot twice and use imagemagick to paste them together:<br />
import -window root -display :0.0 -screen /tmp/0.png<br />
import -window root -display :0.1 -screen /tmp/1.png<br />
convert +append /tmp/0.png /tmp/1.png screenshot.png<br />
rm /tmp/{0,1}.png<br />
<br />
== gimp ==<br />
<br />
You also can take screenshots with gimp (File -> Create -> Screenshot...).<br />
<br />
== xwd ==<br />
<br />
xwd is part of the xorg-apps package.<br />
<br />
Take a screenshot of the root window:<br />
xwd -root -out screenshot.xwd<br />
<br />
== scrot ==<br />
<br />
Scrot, available in the "extra" repository, provides for taking screenshots from the CLI, and offers features such as a user-definable time delay. Unless instructed otherwise, it saves the file in the directory bash was at when the command was launched.<br />
<br />
scrot -t 20 -d 5<br />
<br />
saves a dated .PNG file, along with a thumbnail (20% of original) for Web posting. It provides a five second delay before capturing, in this instance. <br />
<br />
== KDE ==<br />
<br />
If you use KDE, you might want to use ksnapshot, which can also be activated using <Prt Scr>.<br />
<br />
== GNOME ==<br />
<br />
You can press <Prt Scr> or Apps->Accessories->Take Screenshot.<br />
<br />
{{Note|If <Prt Scr> complains about not finding gnome-screenshot or there is no "Take Screenshot" entry in your menu, you will need to install the [http://www.archlinux.org/packages/3154 gnome-utils] package.}}<br />
<br />
== Virtual console ==<br />
<br />
Install a [[framebuffer]] and use {{Package Official|fbgrab}} to take a screen shot. Another option is to use {{Package Official|fbdump}} or {{Package Official|fbshot}}</div>Chuck616https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Projectm&diff=151709Projectm2011-08-13T00:08:16Z<p>Chuck616: moved Projectm to ProjectM</p>

==What is ProjectM?==<br />
'''ProjectM''' is an open source music visualizer based on the Milkdrop plugin for Windows/Winamp. It now has a Qt GUI that can visualize your audio output through either JACK or PulseAudio, in addition to a libvisual component. This wiki currently focuses on the PulseAudio standalone GUI.<br />
<br />
==Installation==<br />
The binaries for ProjectM are not currently included in Arch. However you have two options for obtaining the packages. Either build from AUR yourself or you can get them from an unofficial repository. Currently packages are being build by Luciferin and are on the compiz-fusion-git repository.<br />
<br />
===Unofficial Repo===<br />
Edit <tt>/etc/pacman.conf</tt> as root and add the following repositories to the bottom:<br />
[compiz-fusion]<br />
Server = http://compiz.dreamz-box.de/i686<br />
Save and Exit.<br />
<br />
To synchronize the newly added repository and install the latest package group for PulseAudio:<br />
# pacman -Syy projectm-pulseaudio<br />
<br />
==Run==<br />
Once everything is install just do the following from the command line:<br />
$ projectM-pulseaudio</div>Chuck616https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Disable_PC_speaker_beep&diff=150519Disable PC speaker beep2011-08-02T15:54:27Z<p>Chuck616: /* Globally */</p>

<div>[[Category:Sound (English)]]<br />
{{i18n|Disable PC Speaker Beep}}<br />
<br />
== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
The computer often seems to make beep noises or other sounds at various times, whether we want them or not. They come from various sources, and as such, you may be able to configure if or when they occur.<br />
<br />
Further, the sounds from the computer can be heard from the built-in case speaker, or the speakers which are plugged into the sound card. This article deals primarily with the former.<br />
<br />
The sounds are caused by the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System), the OS (Operating System), the DE (Desktop Environment), or various software programs. The BIOS is a particularly troublesome problem because it is kept inside an EPROM chip on the motherboard, and the only direct control the user has is by turning the power on or off. Unless the BIOS setup has a setting you can adjust or you wish to attempt to reprogram that chip with the proper light source, it is not likely you will be able to change it at all. BIOS-generated beep sounds are not addressed here, except to say that unplugging your computer case speaker will stop all such sounds from being heard. (Do so at your own risk.)<br />
<br />
However, everything else which can cause a sound to come out of the computer case speaker can be handled with the suggestions listed below.<br />
<br />
One should also note that the option of turning off a particular instance of a sound, while leaving the others operational, is possible if one can identify which portion of the environment is the source of the particular sound generation. This can make a very customized selection of attention-getting sounds possible. Please feel free to add your findings to this wiki page when you find particular examples of settings combinations which may be useful for other users.<br />
<br />
==Globally==<br />
The PC speaker can be disabled at boot by by [[Kernel modules#Blacklisting modules|blacklisting]] the module:<br />
{{File|/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf|content=blacklist pcspkr}}<br />
To unload it immediately, issue the following command:<br />
{{Cli|# rmmod pcspkr}}<br />
Restore the module when done.<br />
{{Cli|# modprobe pcspkr}}<br />
<br />
== Locally ==<br />
<br />
=== In X ===<br />
<br />
$ xset -b<br />
<br />
You can add this command to a startup file such as [[xprofile]] to make it permanent.<br />
<br />
=== In console ===<br />
<br />
You can add this command in {{Filename|/etc/profile}} or a dedicated file like {{Filename|/etc/profile.d/disable-beep.sh}} (must be executable):<br />
setterm -blength 0<br />
<br />
Another way is to add or uncomment this line in {{Filename|/etc/inputrc}} or {{Filename|~/.inputrc}}:<br />
set bell-style none<br />
<br />
=== Using ALSA ===<br />
<br />
Try muting the PC Speaker:<br />
$ amixer set 'PC Speaker' 0% mute<br />
<br />
For certain sound cards, it is the PC Beep:<br />
$ amixer set 'PC Beep' 0% mute<br />
<br />
Or merely Beep:<br />
$ amixer set 'Beep' 0% mute<br />
<br />
You can also use alsamixer for a console GUI<br />
$ alsamixer<br />
<br />
Scroll to PC beep and press 'M' to mute. Save your alsa settings:<br />
# alsactl store<br />
<br />
In order for this method to work, {{Codeline|alsa}} must be in your [[rc.conf#Daemons|{{Codeline|DAEMONS}} array]] in {{Filename|/etc/rc.conf}}.<br />
<br />
{{Note|Not every sound card creates a PC Speaker or PC Beep slider control in alsamixer.}}<br />
<br />
=== In GNOME/Metacity ===<br />
<br />
In Gconf set '''{{Codeline|/apps/metacity/general/audible_bell}}''' to '''{{Codeline|false}}:'''<br />
$ gconftool-2 -s -t string /apps/metacity/general/audible_bell false<br />
<br />
