915866 – Screencasting stops immediately with the new user and panel on the left screen.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Vitezslav Humpa 2013-02-26 16:46:02 UTC

Description of problem:
Using a 'brand new' user and a multi-head setting of two displays with the gnome-shell panel on the left, the screen casting stops right after it's start, producing a 0b video file. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.6.2-6.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new user, or rm all files in it's homedir. Have two displays ready.
2. Login to GNOME, the overview/gnome-shell panel should be on the left screen by default.
3. Try to start screencasting by pressing ctrl-alt-shift-R

Actual results:
You will see the recording symbol appearing for only a moment resulting in an empty webm file produced in ~/Videos. You can keep this on with screencasting crashing every time. If you change your display configuration, move the panel to the right or disable the second screen altogether, screencasting will function normally, even after switching the multihead setting back.

Expected results:
Recording at all times.

The terminal output of gnome-shell:

Recording to /home/test/Videos/Screencast from 02-26-2013 05:43:30 PM.webm
Window manager warning: Log level 16: Error in recording pipeline: Internal data flow error.

Window manager warning: Log level 8: recorder_record_frame: assertion `recorder->current_pipeline != NULL' failed
