Its behaviour is not as one would expect based on previous Kscreenshot 
experience:

I set up the default file name in Configure Save Options as "Test".

I take a pic, press Ctrl+S and it is saved as "Test.png", second pic will be 
saved as "Test-1.png", third pic saved as "Test-2.png" and so on.

If I leave the Configure Save Options name blank, then I have to give it a name 
*with* a file extension or it will complain that the format is not available, 
despite the drop down below the name field showing .png as being selected.

[gentoo-user] "X11 forwarding" so to say ... but for audio

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

I am experimenting with microcrontrollers, dev-boards
and other stuff a lot.
Nowaday these "post stamps" are quite capable and often
run linux of some kind.

The beaglebone and the Orange PI PC are of those, even
running an X11 server.

X11 forwarding is quite handy in this cases...but I miss the
audio.

I am already tangled up in cables ... and dont want to add
just another cable to route the audio signal to my PC.

Is there any other way to get the audio from the (in this case)
Orange PI PC board to my PC in a way, that dont need cables
and is easily reconfigurable, if I will change the board
to something different?

Thanks a lot in advance for any help!

Best regards
Meino

In my Fluxbox menu, I have :

It uses Imagemagick ; you can choose whichever dir+filename you want

Not here. I take a screenshot and save it as "test_1.png". Then I take
another and hit Save As, the name defaults to ".png".

No, it isn't audio failing, it's firefox not completing the connection with 
the server.

No, I'm not using pulseaudio.

Have you checked the router config for a session timeout? Eg on a Cisco you
may have something like;

ssh timeout 30

Often setting this to 0 will disable the timeout, but RTFM.

if you just want something to keep the connection open how about just a
simple shell command in a whole loop?

e.g., while true; do clear; ps aux | grep whatever; sleep 5; done

I beg your pardon - my cognitive bias took over.  It does auto-increment if 
the name of the picture exists, but it appears that .png  is the default and 
only image format spectacle will use at present.

Maybe it should, but it doesn't. It tries to name each file .png.

I had this problem when I changed firefox to use chrome-binary-plugins.
Are you using pulseaudio?

In my case the plugin was muted, I went into pulse volume control and
found it. (This was after about 20 minutes of scratching my head
wondering why everything but firefox worked.)

You may also wanna try the ServerAliveInterval option in your client's
ssh config. It sends some keepalive data to the server every X seconds,
sounds like what you need.

[gentoo-user] No audio from Firefox 47.0.1

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

Since I upgraded firefox recently I've lost sound from the BBC radio iplayer 
[1]. It loads the initial page but never returns from "Loading..." Remembering 
the news item about libav and ffmpeg I searched for corresponding USE flags 
against firefox but found neither.

Has anyone else come across this? I didn't notice what was happening at first 
because I was tied up in knots with KDE-5. For the moment I'm going back to 
45.2.0.

Thank you Ralph, but detaching the *local* terminal process of SSH does not in 
any way stop the login session on the router from timing out.

The router login times out unless some command is fed into the login session a 
the time.  So, I'll need to be able to run commands every so often on the 
router shell from within my SSH session (without sitting in front of my PC 
terminal of course).  The commands 'watch', or 'at' might do it, but I am not 
sure if some script is necessary for this.

[gentoo-user] Keep alive within SSH session

[Mick]

I am not sure of the correct approach to achieve a prolonged remote debugging 
session through SSH and avoid the SSH session timing out.

This is what I try to achieve:

I login into a router with SSH from my PC.  Then I can run certain commands to 
start and monitor a debugging session in the router.  However, if I leave 
alone the SSH session, it will soon time out.  The debugging only runs while 
the session is live.  Exiting the SSH session causes all debug output to be 
lost.

If I continue to run (router) commands on the terminal, while the debugging is 
running, the SSH time out is postponed.

What do you suggest I try on an SSH terminal from my PC to keep running 
recurring commands after I have connected to the router?  I will need to keep 
a debugging session going for some hours, in order to collect the data I'm 
after.

If you blank the naming format in the 'Configure Save Options' field and give 
your first screenshot your preferred location/file_name (and file extension if 
different to .png) it should remember this for the next screenshot and will 
auto-increment it by 1.

That's an option in Spectacle now.

My workflow when writing tutorials is similar, except I use PNG files.

It remembers the last save location now. No idea about the format as I
only use PNG, but at worst it means changing the extension to jpg (or
batch convert all the screenshots later with convert).

The name problem is still there. While it will remember the directory,
the name is in the preconfigured format, which has options to use date and
time stamping, but not incremental numbering. Rather than use unsupported
software, I'll probably just use a one line script to rename the files
afterwards, at least with date stamping they will be in the right order.

The location problem is gone now, only the naming remains as a retrograde
step for me. Plus whatever it is that I remember just after hitting Send.

My workflow when taking screenshots:
- Take a snapshot (rectangle)
- "Save as", storing it at a specific location with "_1.jpg" as the 
name
- Change something in an application or going to next screen
- Take a new snapshot (ksnapshot defaults to exact same rectangle which is 
99.9% of the time correct)
- "Save as", ksnapshot goes to same location and increases the numbering 
automatically.

Last time I tried spectacle, I had to navigate the file structure for every 
single screenshot. Set it to save as JPEG. And manually retype the entire 
filename.

This is fine if you occasionally want to save a screenshot and have no problem 
wading through all the screenshots in whatever "default" location Spectacle 
wants to dump them into. But not when taking screenshots documenting an 
installation procedure.

As Alex suggested check that you have built your audio drivers as modules.  
Then run 'alsactl init' to initialise your card and unmute it.

Run 'lspci -k -nn' and check the vendor and product IDs shown in [square 
brackets].  Then Google for the right drivers and make sure they have been 
enabled as modules in your current kernel.

They were probably not compiled as modules?  ;-)

Try:

modprobe -r snd_hda_intel
modprobe -v snd_hda_intel

but if you get no output, then they were not built as modules in your kernel.

I installed the plug-in in 45.2.0 while FF 38.8.0 was compiling :
the interface is different, but it does seem to work.
I'll stick to the older version for now.
Thanks for your very prompt explanation.
