[SOLVED] How to copy paste console output for forum when X not working

Hello All,

I am now trying to figure out my X gnome launching issue. I happens to have another  MSWindows laptop so I can gather the logs from it and create the topic.

But if I don't have this extra laptop, which tools or procedure should I use to create the post on forum to copy the content from log files/console.

I'd like to know your best practise for this.

Best regards,
wushuzh

Or you could try your luck with gpmd, tmux and elinks

I use w3m with editor set to /usr/bin/vim. So text-box opens to vim for text entry where I use ":r <my-file>". Same  can be done with vi if vim is not available.
