Post by Baethan.SloppyCheese »

How do I print the Screen on Kubuntu 22.04 using FF 141.03 ? I would provide more details, but I keep getting blocked by spam

You can private message what you want to post to an active Support Team member and we will try to post it for you. PMs to forum staff are not spam-filtered, and the spam filter is more lenient on us.

Please do provide more details, as it's not clear what "print the Screen" has to do with NoScript?

Hi.
I was having a security issue on a specific website. I was attempting to capture the NoScript information on what was being blocking or allowing, so I may submit to the website for advice on.
I am using Kubuntu 22.04.x, FF 141.0.3 (Today 13-08-2025).

I click NoScript Icon to show sites/scripts/etc
I hit the printscreen (prtsnc) key on the keyboard
The NoScript closes
THEN, the Print Screen Box pops up, and captures the screen/window withOUT NoScript details.

Is there a way around this? I did search and found a similar post from 2018, but I think it's for Windows....
Is there a way to get NoScript Log or a Report on that website ?

Thanks For a Great Product....
I loved it, since late 2005

I use Xubuntu 22.04, and to take a screenshot of the NoScript popup I would use the command-line program "scrot" with a delay, e.g. 2 seconds:

Code: Select all

scrot -d 2
Then open the NoScript popup before the command returns, and leave it open until the command returns.

If you don't have scrot, you can install it with

Code: Select all

sudo apt install scrot
And you can see more options with

Code: Select all

man scrot
scrot should work in Kubuntu 22.04 too if you are using X11 session of KDE/Plasma. I don't know how to take screenshots in Wayland session of KDE/Plasma.
