Description Dawid Zamirski 2013-11-01 21:47:03 UTC
Description of problem:
When attempting to record my desktop with more than one active monitor, the recoeded file ends up with 0 bytes in it. The following error message appears in journalctl:

gnome-session[27362]: Window manager warning: Log level 16: Error in recording pipeline: Internal data flow error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.10.1-2.fc20.x86_64
gnome-session-3.10.1-1.fc20.x86_64


How reproducible:
Alwayd

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Need more than one monitor.
2. Make sure 2nd monitor is active (I have it setup as secondary)
3. Try to record the desktop with ctrl+alt+shit+R combination.

Actual results:
O byte sized file will be created.

Expected results:
Should record the desktop fine.

Additional info:
Works fine when only one monitor (primary) is active.

Oh my. Just realized this is a RedHat bug tracker, not GNOME. Sorry for the noise.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 09:40:32 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 20:03:20 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
