Wow, odd you mention this. Someone on the Ubuntu-CA list (which I'm currently only subscribed to in an attempt to see if LUGOD can work with them at OSCON) mentioned something called 'instanbul', which I hadn't heard of, and just installed... and am about to try. p istanbul - Desktop session recorder producing Ogg The FWIW, I didn't have much luck with RecordMyDesktop and its frontends. (Not last I tried.) Of course, my computer acts up all sorts of annoying ways, lately... most often sound-related. (Happened at SacLUG last night. Fortunately my session somehow survived a fullscreen Tux Paint locking up on exit... a thing I notice in a lot of apps, once sound goes wrong. It's struck other people as well... seems to be PulseAudio. Hell, I have a friend from high school which I didn't know used Linux (though I shouldn't be surprised, since he does astrophysics or something) who posted an update on facebook about 'had to kill -9 pulseaudio so i could watch [such-n-such video' :^) ) Anyway, rambling. I'd love to do desktop recording. Not just for Tux Paint, but for work, too. (Some of our users need extra hand-holding since they're not at all computer-saavy, and being able to just _show_ them what to click and where to type could be quite useful. People tend not to read instructions, or even notice the labels of form fields. *sigh*) Perhaps I should save and send this email before I fire up istanbul for the first time, just in case my laptop 'splodes. :) -bill! _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
