I've tried using recordmydesktop, Istanbul, XvidCap, and RecordItNow. I can get video, but no audio. I tried them on Ubuntu 10.04. On 10.04, recordmydesktop never saved. It just hung, and then I needed to reboot.I just tried recordmydesktop on Ubuntu 11.04 Gnome with no luck. The video saved, but there was no audio.

I am looking for a similar GUI solution in Linux and so far have come up empty. I would think that there would be something out there that I can use and hopefully someone on this forum can shed some light on this for me. I am seriously thinking of switching over to Ubuntu full time and this is the only thing that is preventing me to do so. Too bad because I hear so many good things about Linux, and so far I really like it.

I need a screen recorder - but today I did. Being a quite recent Fodora convert I had a quick squint about the forums and found nothing but problems with the more well known desktop recorders or commandline ffmeg / mencoder solutions.A name that did crop up a few times is KAZAM - an Ubuntu Launchpad project... hmmm I thinks - shouldn't be too hard to get up on F15 being a python script... this Fedora solution is based on the Debian howto found here: [URL] And here it is:
1) You will need a few tools and dependencies 1st:
Code:
sudo yum install bzr intltool python-keybinder gnome-python-rsvg python-xlib python-distutils-extra python-pycurl x264-libs
2) Grab the code branch from launchpad by bzr:
Code:
sudo bzr branch lp:kazam
3) change into Kazam folder and install:
Code:
cd kazam
sudo python setup.py install
4) Job done!
You'll now have an Applications -> Sound & Video -> Kazam Screencaster shortcut in your menu Once you have started a recording (with audio if you like and have pulse setup) you can pause / stop from the bottom panel applet and can then save the MKV to disk for or open further editing. The "Edit with" option does not seem to be working yet - at least not on my machine but that is no major hardship
im looking for a good screen recorder that can record video from my desktop and audio through a mic and i need it to export the files as mp4 so i can edit it. i can use terminal commands if necessary but would prefer a GUI because i only have a few days to learn the program.

I tried Koffice which is supposed to have mail merge but nothing appeared on the Tools menu as the manual says it should. At the moment I am using MS office 2003 under Wine which works fine and does exactly what I want, only thing I don't seem able to do is install any of the service packs, any suggestions for that?

I'm looking for a useable remote desktop solution that works like Microsoft's RDP.The included "remote desktop" vnc server in Ubuntu doesn't work because every time I want to log in remotely, I have to first go sit down in front of the machine running ubuntu, log in, disable desktop effects, then manually adjust the desktop resolution to fit the target guest machine. I can't really do that if I'm on my laptop at the airport.
Some things I have tried:NoMachine NX does not work because once I've launched applications remotely on my laptop there's no way to get them back once I'm at the machine locally. Also, there's a sound feature, but it doesn't work. Remote X11 doesn't work for the same reasons.
1. I need to be able to launch an application remotely, then when I get home, go sit at the machine locally and use that application there without having to re-launch it.
2. I need to be able to hear the sound playing on the remote computer.
3. I need it to work with desktop effects enabled.
Essentially, I want it to "just work" the way Windows' Remote Desktop works.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a situation where I have several screen (/usr/bin/screen) sessions running. 2 of the screen sessions (ps1 and ps2) run a script that launched SipP with specific parameters. 1 script starts SipP and has it make 50 calls where the other makes only 20 calls. However The script is configured where we can change how many calls it makes if needed.
So the problem is, due to issues with SipP, we must restart everything every 12 hours (at maximum). So I am trying to work out scripts to stop the SipP processes cleanly. In order to do so I need to figure out which SipP process is spawned by which screen. i.e. which sipp was started by screen session ps1, and which one was started by screen session ps2.
Now I can do ps -ef | grep <number of calls configured> to find out but then I would have to change my stop script every time we reconfigure how many calls are made, and have a separate stop script for each screen session. I would much rather be able to send the screen name as a parameter to the stop script and have it work no matter how many calls SipP is configured to make.Also your standard kill -1 <PID> does not shutdown SipP cleanly. So working out those details is a bit more tricky. Anyone know how I can determine what processes are spawned from a specific screen session?
I made a USBbootdisk and installed 10.04 the day the final release came out. I installed it, used this post install guide http://blog.thesilentnumber.me/2010/...de-what-to.htm, and it has been working like a charm since then. When I went to log on to it today, the log in screen comes up as normal, I enter my password, ubuntu thinks about it for a minute, and then sends me right back to the log in screen.
I have an Asus EeePC 1005, dual booting Windows 7 Starter/Ubuntu 10.04
I just want to see if this is fixable before I wipe the partition and reload ubuntu.
I can't see any boot splash while booting up, all I see is a black screen and then it directly lands on Login screen. But boot splash does work while shutting down the PC. My kernel version is 2.6.35-25.
I remember I tried to tweak grub.d (05_debian_theme specifically). But I just removed and reinstalled Grub2 and problem still persists. Also, I have compiled kernel 2.6.37, and boot splash works on it fine.
Note: I am talking about boot splash and not the boot-time wallpaper (I had modified 05_debian_theme to have wallpaper working). But again, everything seems as per default settings as I removed and reinstalled Grub2.
Natty install -- ATI 9800 is the video board.
I installed Natty on it with the machine hooked up to a Samsung LCD with a 1680x1050 resolution over DVI. No problems at all. I want the box to pretty much output MP3s and web video, so I'm not needing much. When I take the box and hook it via DVI to my LCD, I get a blank screen on boot up. I try sticking the natty CD in it, and I get a blank screen trying to live boot it too. The LCD doesn't do 1680x1050, so I brought it back to my Samsung and set the default resolution to something nice and safe: 1280x1024. Still the same behavior. When I take splash mode off, I see a "load fallback graphics devices fail" error as it is booting up. Hard for me to think the driver is the fault here when it works on my over LCD just fine.
I have this very frustrating problem... I'm trying to build a Linux-based HTPC (Home Theatre PC). I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty as the operating system, and it works fine when I have it connected to my 17" Samsung monitor. However, when I connect the HTPC to the TV via VGA I get a black screen after "startx" (I can access the console through recovery mode though). Ubuntu is running gnome, so I guess it's a gnome related problem?
I would have thought it was a problem with the drivers to graphics card, but since it's working on my 17" monitor I've ruled that out. The TVs resolution is 1024x768. What can be causing this? Apperently there's some difference between my monitor and my TV (forgetting the fact that it is indeed a TV, not a monitor), but what? I've previously run Windows on the same hardware without problems, and thought I should give Linux a shot. It doesn't look good...
Ubuntu has been crashing on boot. I used a recovery mode kernal and went into failsafe mode, upon which point a msgbox told me to switch to low graphics. Then Ubuntu looked completely normal and functional with no problems. To me - an Ubuntu amateur, it seems like a driver problem and that running in failsafe mode will have its setbacks.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI thought my Super key was not working to dim my notebook screen, thinking that it was a driver problem. However, I also noticed that my Super key no longer works. I read somewhere that in order to fix the Super key, you would have to use Keyboard Preferences and change 'Alt/Win Behavior' so that 'Super is mapped to Win-Keys'. There is no option like this for me to select. Moreover, this will not fix my function key issue and my eyes are beginning to strain from my screen being at max brightness all the time.

I have an Acer Aspire One AOA110 (SSD version that came w/ Linpus Lite) that my brother gave to me several months back when it stopped working. I've been trying various ways to revive it or make it useable, but haven't had any luck so I figure it's time to look to the community for ideas. I have already updated the BIOS to the latest (v3310) version, so I don't think it's the common issue these netbooks have where they don't even post. I'm kind of thinking the GPU died halfway or something. If I could just get it to work in a command line only mode, I'd be happy.
The netbook will post fine, but when I try to boot into Linux, the screen will go blank part way through the boot process. I don't ever remember hearing sound afterwards so I don't know if just the screen is blank or if the computer is locked up as well. I have tried several distros, but all of them seem to run into the same issue. Some with text based installers (Debian) get all the way through the install, but won't get all the way through the boot process. I'm only trying to get to a command line, not into X or anything graphical. Arch Linux also uses a text based installer, but I couldn't even get into the installer before the screen goes blank. I've tried changing some of the kernel options such as nomodeset, vesa and framebuffers options, but didn't have much luck with them either. I've also tried some older versions of Ubuntu (I think back to either 8.04 or 8.10) and tried the text installs, but I can't remember if I couldn't get into the installer or if I just couldn't boot, I want to say I couldn't even install. Mind you it's not random, it's always at the same point for a particular distro.
So the other small twist to this all is that FreeDOS works fine, besides not being able to get the sound card or network card working. I can play games, set different resolutions in ZSNES, etc. This seems a little odd to me, but I'm hoping it makes perfect sense to someone reading this.
I want to be able to run Linux with a command line interface, but I can't find the right distro/settings/whatever that it stays in the video mode (vesa?/framebuffer only?/I'm not even sure what to search for) where I keep the display and get to a command line. Any thoughts on what's happening when the screen goes blank or what I can do to get Linux working on here again?
I have to hold a presentation using a projector in a few days and I have to bring my own laptop, so I tried hooking up a second monitor to test if it works. As it turns out, the second monitor works fine, but then my main screen is messed up. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and I'm doing this on a HP Pavilion DV4000 laptop. My main screen shows just the bottom (cca) 400 pixels of the wallpaper, no bottom panel, no desktop icons. And I'm kind of scared to remove the second monitor now cause I don't know what I'll do if I don't get the main screen back.. Well, other than installing 9.10 beta that is..
