Here's a bread crumb. I edited /usr/lib/python2.7/dist- packages/recordMyDesktop/rmdTrayIcon.py to dump the full command-line:
$ recordmydesktop -o /home/nhilton/Desktop/rmd1.ogv --fps 30 -x 527 -y 320 --width 877 --height 571 --channels 1 --freq 48000 --v_quality 63 --s_quality 10 --workdir /tmp --overwrite --use-jack system:playback_1 system:capture_1 > Window size specification out of bounds!(current resolution:1920x1080) The windows parameters x, y, width, height all looked okay to me. So next I tried to running without any windows parameters: $ recordmydesktop -o /home/nhilton/Desktop/rmd1.ogv --fps 30 --channels 1 --freq 48000 --v_quality 63 --s_quality 10 --workdir /tmp --overwrite --use-jack system:playback_1 system:capture_1 > Initial recording window is set to: > X:-5872 Y:0 Width:7792 Height:1080 > Adjusted recording window is set to: > X:-5872 Y:4 Width:7792 Height:1072 > Your window manager appears to be GNOME Shell > > > Detected compositing window manager. > Reverting to full screen capture at every frame. > To disable this check run with --no-wm-check > (though that is not advised, since it will probably produce faulty results). > > Initializing... > jack_client_new: deprecated > Cannot connect input port recordMyDesktop-481:input_1 to system:playback_1 The window dimensions look odd, but then we get the underlying JACK error. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1037402 Title: JACK audio source: "Improper window specification" (exit status 2816) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk-recordmydesktop/+bug/1037402/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
