# Some random and useful recipes
## Take a HDMI screenshot via console on Pi-KVM
```
# curl --unix-socket /run/kvmd/ustreamer.sock http://localhost/snapshot -o screen.jpg
```
## Get installed KVMD version via console
```
# pacman -Q | grep kvmd
```
## Enable Serial-over-USB connection
Specifically to v2. This can be used for terminal access from the managed server to the Pi-KVM, or for any other purpose that requires a serial connection. In the last case, you only need to perform step 1 and reboot.
1. Edit `/etc/kvmd/override.yaml` (remove `{}` if this your first configuration entry) and add these lines:
``` yaml
otg:
devices:
serial:
enabled: true
```
2. Run the following command:
```
# echo ttyGS0 >> /etc/securetty
```
3. Create the directory `/etc/systemd/system/getty@ttyGS0.service.d` and add a file file named `ttyGS0.override` into it. Afterwards edit the file and copy this into it:
```ini
[Service]
TTYReset=no
TTYVHangup=no
TTYVTDisallocate=no
```
4. Run these comands:
```
# systemctl enable getty@ttyGS0.service
# reboot
```
5. Once Pi-KVM is rebooted you will have access to a virtual serial port on the server that the USB is connected to. Use mingetty, screen, putty, or something like this to access the kvm from the server. The port is called `/dev/ttyAMA0`.
