Created attachment 931053 [details] Quickstart guide on installing and working with recordMyDesktop (5 pages incl. screenshots) Description of problem: When recording a video with recordMyDesktop, Fedora 20 does not display the icon used to stop recording. Instead, after clicking "Record" (see steps in the below guide), a white line appears along the edge of the screen, and the computer begins working really slowly or freezes. The steps I followed are in this guide: https://mojo.redhat.com/docs/DOC-959339 The icon mentioned in this instruction is missing: "You will see a red record icon in the top right corner of your screen. When you're finished, press the red record button to stop recording." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: I tried several times, with same results. Steps to Reproduce: 1. See above guide 2. 3. Actual results: Missing icon Expected results: Icon on upper tab to use to stop recording Additional info: Workaround: Start and stop the recording from the terminal as follows: After you install the recordMyDesktop packages (see guide), 1. In terminal, type gtk- and press Tab twice. A list of applications that begin with gtk- appears, one of them is gtk-recordMyDesktop. Example: [yourname@dhcp-12-123 ~]$ gtk- gtk-launch gtk-recordMyDesktop gtk-update-icon-cache gtk-query-immodules-2.0-64 gtk-query-immodules-3.0-64 2. Start the application from the terminal by typing its name and pressing Enter: [yourname@dhcp-12-123 ~]$ gtk-recordMyDesktop 3. The application window opens. Configure the application according to the guide and click “Record”. 4. When you are finished recording, press Ctrl+C to stop ("KeyboardInterrupt" will appear in the terminal).
Under GNOME 3, the record/stop button appears in the lower message notification area. To access it, hit the Windows key to open GNOME 3's overview mode and then move the mouse to the bottom of the screen (or hit Windows+M) to open the message notification area. Please update your documentation.
