Hi,
I am a strange position. I have couple of PC which I am running openSUSE and Ubuntu. I create screen casts for my stories and under openSUSE there is a strange situation. When I run recordmydesktop under opneSUSE 12.1 on my Dell xps 1330 it works great. But when I try to run it on my main PC which has Nvidia card it doesn't work. It hangs. I tried running it on a fresh install on the same PC without nvidia drivers still it did not run. It runs well under Ubuntu.
What can be the cause and what is the solution?

Hi Swapnil, Are you running openSUSE on one of the 'couple of PCs' and Ubuntu on the other? Or are you running openSUSE *and* Ubuntu on each? Also, you're saying 'recordmydesktop' works great under openSUSE 12.1 on the Dell, but not on your 'main PC' with or without the proprietary nVidia drivers installed. The point you're making I guess is 'recordmydesktop' appears to run fine under 12.1, as you've confirmed on the Dell system, but there is something different happening on your 'main PC' and this is what you'd like help troubleshooting. Assuming you're describing 'recordmydesktop' and not the entire PC when you say "it hangs" I would suggest opening a terminal on your 'main PC' and, as a normal user try launching 'recordmydesktop' from the commandline. Look for any error messages to post back here and we'll take a look. regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
