GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 703431
screen recording robustness: vt switch
Last modified: 2021-07-05 14:05:09 UTC
From a downstream bug report: When I switch to VT and back while I am recording a video in gnome shell via ctrl+alt+shift+r I got some strange time hole in recorded video. Totem plays first part correctly, then the second after I am back to gnome shell is somehow fastened (starting again from 0 time). In VLC I get recording till switch, then video time is not moving for ten seconds ( talking about attached video) and then the rest is played correctly. Can session be recorded while I am in VT? X and gnome shell are still running so I suspect it should be possible, Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-3.8.1-1 gstreamer1-1.0.6-1 How reproducible: always
(In reply to comment #0) > From a downstream bug report: > Can session be recorded while I am in VT?

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
