Hi JunkYard
If you have a GUI running, then a screenshot utility should
already be present. Open a terminal and enter:
screenshot.shAfter a brief delay, you should see a message that it's done.
This takes a picture of the entire screen.
If you want to take a picture of just one window, install windowshot.tcz.
To use it, click on the Windshot icon.
Your cursor will change from an arrow to a crosshair.
Place the crosshair over the window of interest and left click.
The window must be fully visible to capture all of it.
After a brief delay, you should see a message that it's done.
If you want to select an area of the screen to capture, install grabber.tcz.
To use it, click on the SelectiveScreenshot icon.
Instructions can be found here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/17.x/x86/tcz/grabber.tcz.info
If you need help while its running, press ?. Hit any key to dismiss the help page.

Hi JunkYard
... 1. How do I upload the image files to this forum ...
The same way you did under Windows in reply #2.
When replying, below the text box where you enter your reply, click on:
Attachments and other options
This will now display various options. Below the choice "Attach:" is a
Browse button. Click it and select your file from the file selector
window that pops up.
... 2. how do I copy them onto another external drive
Plug in your device. Then run:
dmesg | tailThe vertical line between the 2 commands should be on your "\" key.
The result should be similar to this:
[48021.938514] scsi host7: usb-storage 1-5:1.0
[48022.967271] scsi 7:0:0:0: Direct-Access Udisk Udisk 2.0 3.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2
[48022.974161] sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg8 type 0
[48022.978525] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdg] 962560 512-byte logical blocks: (493 MB/470 MiB)
[48022.979780] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdg] Write Protect is off
[48022.979825] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdg] Mode Sense: 0b 00 00 08
[48022.981036] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdg] No Caching mode page found
[48022.981119] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdg] Assuming drive cache: write through
[48023.002490] sdg: sdg1 <----------- This is the line you care about.
[48023.007267] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdg] Attached SCSI removable diskOn my system, the device was assigned the name sdg1. On your machine
it will likely be something different.
Click on the MountTool icon.
When it comes up, click on the button whose name matches your device.
It should change from red to green.
Then to copy the file, using my device as an example:
cp windowshot-2026May28-101242.png /mnt/sdg1
Before unplugging your USB device, use the MountTool to unmount
your device. Click the button and make sure it turns from green to red.

infact I dont even know if it has done it! i try and open the attachment and told I need to open a program to do this but it dose not give you the option of the image viewer i recently downloaded before! Infact i cant even take a screen shot of it. because when i right click on the screen the diolog box i want to photograph vanises!
-
dmesg | tail
the farward slash key dose not work in linux
I dont know what the line in the middle means! and with out being able to copy and paste it onto the the terminal there is no point continuing further
-
]
On my system, the device was assigned the name sdg1. On your machine
there is no sda1 or sdg1 showing in the emelfm program
I have attached a screen shot, though i do not know if it will be right as i can open it hear (as i stated before)
-
I dont know what the line in the middle means
"|"
It's the character above the backslash "\" key on a US keyboard or on the key at top left (below the "Esc" key) on a UK keyboard that requires the "Alt Gr" key.
-
there is no sda1 or sdg1 showing in the emelfm program
You will not find it in the /home/tc subdirectory, you need to look at the /mnt subdirectory.
You could also try the mnttool, the icon of a disk drive with a green spot in the bottom right corner.
If that doesn't work, you could try the commands "ls /dev/sd*" or "ls /dev/hd*"

There is nothing hear!

sdb1 is showing green and everything ells red. it is just a dead link when you press it. Can not open it up to see what is on the drive
If that doesn't work, you could try the commands "ls /dev/sd*" or "ls /dev/hd*"
/dev/sd has done nothing!
dev/hd has done nothing too!

Hi JunkYard
Try this.
First, install ntfs-3g.tcz:
tce-load -wi ntfs-3g.tcz
Then:
1. Click once on the MountTool icon.
2. When the MountTool appears, write down the buttons labels.
3. Plug in your USB device.
4. Count to 3.
5. Press the Refresh button on the MountTool.
6. Compare the buttons to the list you wrote down.
7. There should be a new button on the MountTool.
8. That button is the USB device you plugged in.
9. Click that button once and see if it turns green.

Is there any chance I can open it?

Which keyboard do you have - US, UK or?
-
sdd1 red ***yes you press the botton and it turns green**
Is there any chance I can open it?
Yes, either navigate to /mnt/sdd1 using emelfm or other file manager or “ls /mnt/sdd1”.

Yes, either navigate to /mnt/sdd1 using emelfm or other file manager or “ls /mnt/sdd1”.
I think we discussed this before as there is no /mnt/sdd1 present in emelfm
-
Yes there is - highlight /home/tc and type /mnt/sdd1 <cr>
-
Yes there is - highlight /home/tc and type /mnt/sdd1 <cr>
That directory dose not exist! please see screen shot
-
You are still looking at /home/tc
Click on the folder icon to the right of /home/tc - that will move you to /home. Click on the folder icon to the right of /home - that will move you to /.
You will now be able to see /mnt - double-click on /mnt and you will be able to see /sdd1 - double-click on /sdd1 and you will be able to see its contents.

but I have typed "/mnt/sdd1 <cr>" and pressed enter and told that directory dose not exist
this makes no sence what so ever! there is no /mnt/sdd1 <cr> in the folder box. only a "../"
-
Open a terminal window and type "emelfm /mnt" <cr> - for me this opens emelfm with the contents of /mnt in the left hand pane.

emelfm /mnt
All its done is open emelfm program from the terminal. it makes no odds! its the same screen!
-
..and typing “ls /mnt” <cr> in the terminal window does what?

“ls /mnt” ?????????????????????????

So you don't get something analogous to this:
ls /mnt
mmcblk0p1/ mmcblk0p2/ sdf1/ sdf2/ test
-
Hi JunkYard
... but I have typed "/mnt/sdd1 <cr>" and pressed enter ...
Don't type in "<cr>". "<cr>" means press enter.

mnt/sdd1
says its not found!
-
Hi JunkYard
It has to be :
ls /mnt/sdd1when you run it from the terminal, and your USB device still
needs to be plugged in and mounted.

Again Ls mnt/sdd1
-
Hi JunkYard
Again Ls mnt/sdd1
You are not giving us much to work with. I don't understand
what you are trying to say.
Why are you repeating my command with an upper case L?
Why are you repeating my command without the / in front of mnt?
-

Because that is the only key there is on this keyboard that looks anything link the one you have given
sorry / was a typo. /mnt/sdd1 dose nothing! (probably because just like inenififm it dose not exist)
-
I've attached an emelfm screenshot.
Basically in the area I've circled in the screenshot you need to change the text from /home/tc to /mnt and hit enter - you will then be able to see the contents of /mnt
In my example the contents of /mnt in the left hand pane are:
sda1, sda2, sda3 - partitions on my laptop hard disk.
sdb1, sdb2 - partitions on a usb stick.
-
Hi JunkYard

What? You don't have a lowercase L on your keyboard?
It's lowercase L lowercase S /mnt/sdd1:
ls /mnt/sdd1

It's lowercase L lowercase S /mnt/sdd1:
ls /mnt/sdd1
ok so its "ls /mnt/sdd1"
Just as I though. No such directory!

But I might have something now please see attachment

Finally - some progress
I'd guess you've rebooted or unplugged and plugged your usb stick and it is now /mnt/sdb1.
Does the mnttool show sdb1 as mounted/green? If not click on it so it becomes green, then double-click on sdb1 in the left hand pane of emelfm, this will show you the contents of the usb stick.

Will go out to the garage at some time to find my old back up HDDs
For some strange reason they wont show anything on windows OSs. (maybe some thing to do with the formatting)

Usually windows cannot read partitions formatted for linux
