Access framebuffer /dev/fb0 in AWS EC2 (Ubuntu Server)

Question

My ultimate goal is to use fbgrab program on EC2. Whenever I try fbgrab -c 1 screenshot.png, I get:

Could not open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory

How can I install/enable it in my Ubuntu Server? It is hosted on AWS EC2 with current version 14.04.

As I said, my ultimate goal is to use fbgrab, so if there is any workaround that bypass FrameBuffer, I'm open to it too.

Answer 1

I'm finally able to do this with this command

apt-get install linux-image-hwe-generic-trusty -y

Either this or a dependency used by this package install framebuffer device. Make sure to restart EC2 instance after installing it.

Note: Only tested on Ubuntu x64 14.04 on AWS EC2
