Select a suitable save location such as 'Documents' and click Save. | |||
Now you are ready to take a screenshot. Start gnome-screenshot from Terminal with a suitable delay, eg. 2 seconds | |||
gnome-screenshot -d 2 | |||
Immediately go to the screen you wish to capture, position the cursor where you want it, get the menus etc. as you want them and wait for the dialog box. Click Save. (Later versions of Sugar allow you to access the saved file in Documents but the folder contents are not updated, you may need to switch between Journal and Documents to see the updated file listing.) | |||

==GIT and patches== | |||
===GIT local repository=== | |||
sudo install git | |||
clone the git of the Turtle, in a terminal, make: | |||
git clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/turtleart/mainline.git | |||
In the mainline folder there are all turtle's files.. | |||
===Patch=== | |||
sudo yum install patch | |||
or | |||
sudo yum install patch --nogpg | |||
Should be a "raw patch" link (eg. 2b4ecb0cc7095f47fc944c54512e055c21537ab5.patch) | |||
1. Save that page as a file into ~/Activities/TurtleArt.activity (eg patching Turtle Art) | |||
2. From terminal run the patch command as follows: | |||
patch -p1 < 2b4ecb0cc7095f47fc944c54512e055c21537ab5.patch | |||
That is it. (Note, you should be able to use autocomplete when typing | |||
the command line by hitting tab after typing the first few letters of | |||
the patch file name.) | |||
