So I'm having a fairly annoying issue with screen recorders...
Basically the the exception of the built in gnome screen recorder, I cannot use any screen recorder. This includes gtk-recordmydesktop, istanbul, kazam, ffmpeg and xvidcap. Basically what happens is that they record my mouse moving around the screen doing stuff, but nothing else. It's like the recorders take a screenshot of my desktop every few minutes and transpose my mouse moving around on it.
I haven't a clue as to why this is happening. Does anyone know? Distro: Linux Mint 13 - Cinnamon Maya |
I have no idea what might cause this, but I do have a troubleshooting suggestion. I assume you have checked all the settings for the various programs for something whifty.
Try starting one of them, perhaps recordmydesktop, from the command line. The resulting output to the terminal window might reveal something. |

I've used recordmydesktop, though it's been a while, but this looks normal to me.
As I said, I don't have a clue, but let's hope someone comes along and enlightens both of us. I did find an older LQ thread that might help: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...frames-767616/ |
If you have java installed and a twitter account. I use this online record my desktop. It is only good for 5 minutes of recording though.

Error when parsing `-width': libpopt error: -11 Edit: Disregard that, he had typed the command wrong as it required a double dash before "width" and "height". Edit x2: Found a thread on the Linux Mint which seems like the same issue I'm having: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=103522 Quote:

Alright, I've confirmed that gnome 3 is in fallback mode when using anything (but the built in gnome recorder) to record my desktop. I tested this by running the following command:
Code:
gnome-shell --replace Edit: Turns out any desktop environment than Cinnamon works. So I've switched over to Mate. Not as nice imo, but I'm still tweaking it. |
