Public bug reported: According to https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/CheatSheet the GS screencast tool can be started and stopped with the key combination Control+Shift+Alt+R. I've found that stopping a recording does not close the file that is being recorded to (visible in the output of `lsof | grep webm`).
If I press Control+Shift+Alt+R again, instead of incrementing a counter and starting a recording to a new file, as the docs state, the recording is appended to the previous file (even if it has since been moved somewhere else). It definitely appears as if the file descriptor is not being closed, and shell-recorder is in fact pausing the the recording, rather than stopping it. See http://developer.gnome.org/shell/unstable /shell-shell-recorder.html Another thing to note is that when playing back the recorded .webm file, VLC shoes "0:00" as the recording length, eg. it appears unable to determine the length, as if the file is incomplete... or was never closed properly. ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/975360 Title: shell-recorder does not close file when recording is stopped To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/975360/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
