# /media/bill/HOWELL_BASE/System_maintenance/video/simplescreenrecorder/0_simplescreenrecorder notes.txt ************************ 23Oct2017 +-----+ http://www.maartenbaert.be/simplescreenrecorder/ What is SimpleScreenRecorder? SimpleScreenRecorder is a Linux program that I've created to record programs and games. There were already a few programs that could do this, but I wasn't 100% happy with any of them, so I created my own. My original goal was to create a program that was just really simple to use, but as I was writing it I started adding more and more features, and the result is actually a pretty powerful program. It's 'simple' in the sense that it's easier to use than ffmpeg/avconv or VLC, because it has a straightforward user interface. If you are using Ubuntu 17.04 or newer, SimpleScreenRecorder can be found in the official repositories. You can install it with: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install simplescreenrecorder # if you want to record 32-bit OpenGL applications on a 64-bit system: sudo apt-get install simplescreenrecorder-lib:i386 You should copy-paste these commands to a terminal line by line rather than all at once, otherwise it won't work. If you are using an older version of Ubuntu, or you want to get the latest version of SimpleScreenRecorder immediately without waiting for the next Ubuntu release, you can also get the package(s) from the SimpleScreenRecorder PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install simplescreenrecorder # if you want to record 32-bit OpenGL applications on a 64-bit system: sudo apt-get install simplescreenrecorder-lib:i386 Alternatively, you can install the simplescreenrecorder package from GetDeb. +-----+ >> I couldn't install it : Ign http://mirror.internode.on.net testing/main Translation-en_CA Err http://mirror.nexcess.net debian/main i386 Packages 301 Moved Permanently Ign http://mirror.internode.on.net testing/main Translation-en Err http://mirror.nexcess.net debian/upstream i386 Packages 301 Moved Permanently Err http://mirror.nexcess.net debian/import i386 Packages 301 Moved Permanently Ign http://mirror.internode.on.net testing/non-free Translation-en_CA Ign http://mirror.internode.on.net testing/non-free Translation-en Err http://ppa.launchpad.net testing/main Sources 404 Not Found Err http://ppa.launchpad.net testing/main i386 Packages 404 Not Found Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net testing/main Translation-en_CA Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net testing/main Translation-en Err http://ppa.launchpad.net testing/main Sources 404 Not Found Err http://ppa.launchpad.net testing/main i386 Packages 404 Not Found Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net testing/main Translation-en_CA Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net testing/main Translation-en Err http://ppa.launchpad.net testing/main Sources 404 Not Found Err http://ppa.launchpad.net testing/main i386 Packages 404 Not Found Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net testing/main Translation-en_CA Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net testing/main Translation-en W: Failed to fetch http://mirror.nexcess.net/linuxmint/packages/dists/debian/main/binary-i386/Packages 301 Moved Permanently W: Failed to fetch http://mirror.nexcess.net/linuxmint/packages/dists/debian/upstream/binary-i386/Packages 301 Moved Permanently W: Failed to fetch http://mirror.nexcess.net/linuxmint/packages/dists/debian/import/binary-i386/Packages 301 Moved Permanently W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ffmulticonverter/stable/ubuntu/dists/testing/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ffmulticonverter/stable/ubuntu/dists/testing/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder/ubuntu/dists/testing/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder/ubuntu/dists/testing/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/opm/ppa/ubuntu/dists/testing/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/opm/ppa/ubuntu/dists/testing/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed to download.
